Study population: The ZWOT-CASE study population will consist of a subgroup of 370 patients from the integrated CVRM care group (intervention) and 370 patients in the usual care (control) group. Both groups consist of respectively i) 185 patients with known CVD and ii) 185 patients with a high (>10%) ten year risk of CVD morbidity and mortality based on the Dutch Guideline for CVRM.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a history of atherosclerotic CVD defined as documented angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, chronic ischemic heart disease, coronary sclerosis, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), cerebral infarction, intermittent claudication or aneurysm of the abdominal aorta

  • Age between 40 and 80 years
  • Use of blood pressure lowering or lipid lowering drugs
  • A 10 -years CV risk > 10%, based on the Dutch guideline for CVRM and i) either 1 strongly cardiovascular risk enhancing factor or 2 mildly cardiovascular risk enhancing factors (see table 6) or ii) > 1 CV risk factor (current smoking, SBP>140 mmHg, LDL>2.5 mmol/L, TC/HDL-ratio > 8, chronic renal impairment (age < 65 years: eGFR < 60 ml/min/1,73 m2; age ≥ 65 years: eGFR < 45 ml/min/1,73 m2, and/or (micro)albuminuria).

About this study

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) contributes importantly to mortality and morbidity. Prevention of CVD by lifestyle change and medication is important and needs full attention.

In the Netherlands an integrated program for cardiovascular risk management (CVRM), based on the Chronic Care Model (CCM), has been introduced in many regions in recent years, but evidence from studies that this approach is beneficial is very limited.

In the ZWOT-CASE study the investigators will assess the effect of integrated care for CVRM in the region of Zwolle on two major cardiovascular risk factors: systolic blood pressure (SBP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) in patients with or at high risk of CVD.

This study is a pragmatic clinical trial comparing integrated care for CVRM with usual care among patients aged 40-80 years with CVD (n= 370) or with a high CVD risk (n= 370) within 26 general practices. After one year follow-up, primary outcomes (SBP and LDL-cholesterol level) are measured. Secondary outcomes include lifestyle habits (smoking, dietary habits, alcohol use, physical activity), risk factor awareness, 10-year risk of cardiovascular morbidity or mortality, health care consumption, patient satisfaction and quality of life.

Study groups in NCT03428061
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention groupThe intervention under study will be the integrated care for cardiovascular risk management (CVRM), based on the Dutch CVRM guideline. Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a high cardiovascular risk (CVR) (>10%) or use of antihypertensives or lipid lowering drugs are included in the program. Patients will be invited for an intake consultation, including a blood test, an interview, physical examination and estimation of the 10-years cardiovascular risk. If indicated, treatment with medication will be started and general lifestyle advises will be given. Patients can be referred to smoking cessation therapy, dietician and exercise programs or a physiotherapist. Patients will be controlled on a regular base to evaluate and adjust their personal goals.
Receives: Other: Integrated care for cardiovascular risk management
Control groupUsual care will be based on the Dutch CVRM guideline, describing how to calculate the CVR and advices to lower this risk by lifestyle intervention and/or medication. However systematic identification of patients eligible for CVRM, actively inviting patients for a visit, regular follow-up and standardized collaboration with other disciplines in the health care chain are not necessarily part of usual care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hypercholesterolemia, run by UMC Utrecht at 1 site in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systolic blood pressure (time frame: After 1 year of follow-up). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03428061, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2018.
