GP management of CVD is ‘suboptimal’: Aussie study
Sydney researchers, including GPs, say adherence to evidence-based guidelines is challenging
CVD management in general practice is “suboptimal” with only four out of every 10 patients at high risk of the disease receiving guideline-recommended treatments, according to Australian research.
The NSW study also shows that among patients with established CVD just over half (57%) receive treatment in line with 2012 guidelines.
