In Scotland, Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) is the second largest cause of overall disease burden in our country, and the second most common cause of death after cancer. It causes more than 25% of all deaths in Scotland, many of which are in the under 75 years of age category and considered avoidable deaths, meaning that they are preventable or treatable through public health interventions or timely and effective healthcare.

To help address this issue, we have started inviting patients we have identified as those living with key modifiable risk factors that they are currently unaware of, and to optimise our early intervention and care to therefore reduce patients’ risk of developing CVD.

Focusing on improving identification and management of clinical risk factors for CVD (high blood pressure, high blood lipids, high blood sugar, obesity, and smoking).

There is nothing to worry about, we want to be sure that we are doing everything we can to support your health.
