NCT ID NCT07778784
First seen Aug 21, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026
Summary
This study aims to screen cardiovascular risk among attendees of the ESC Congress 2026, focusing on healthcare professionals. Participants will undergo a capillary blood draw, urine sample, waist and blood pressure measurements, and answer a questionnaire about lifestyle and medical history. The goal is to assess objective risk scores and compare them with participants' self-perceived risk, potentially revealing gaps in awareness.
