NCT ID NCT07294937
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows over 10,000 Moroccan adults for 10 years after a heart screening. Researchers will track heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related deaths to build a risk score tailored to the Moroccan population. The goal is to better predict and prevent heart disease in Morocco.
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
- If successful, this could lead to a heart disease risk calculator specifically for Moroccans, helping doctors prevent heart attacks and strokes more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational follow-up study, not a treatment trial. It may not produce a usable risk score if too many participants are lost to follow-up or if data is incomplete.

Who is studied
The study population includes adults aged 40 years and older who were screened for cardiovascular risk between 2010 and 2012 by the "All with heart" Association in the Greater Casablanca region, Morocco. Approximately 10,000 individuals participated in the original screening campaign, which collected data on anthropometric, biological, and lifestyle risk factors. For the 10-year follow-up, all eligible Moroccan participants from the initial screening will be contacted by phone, WhatsApp, or SMS to collect updated information on cardiovascular events, hospitalizations, and mortality. This population represents a community-based cohort reflecting the general adult population at risk of cardiovascular disease in Morocco.
