Summary

This observational study will enroll about 8,000 adults across Europe who have coronary heart disease or are at high risk for it, including those with diabetes or chronic kidney disease. Researchers will check whether doctors are following European guidelines for lifestyle advice and medication to prevent further heart problems. The goal is to see how well prevention targets are being met in real-world practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
This could reveal gaps between recommended and actual care, guiding better prevention strategies for heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease across Europe.
What could go wrong
As an observational survey, it cannot prove cause and effect, and results may vary by country and healthcare system, limiting generalizability.
