(A szív- és érbetegségek digitalizált kockázatelemzése: új lehetoség a betegek motiválására. A Szív-Errendszeri Prevenciós Program (SZEP) alkalmazása a gyakorlatban.)

Full Abstract

Authors constructed a software helping the prevention programme of coronary and vascular diseases as the classical risk factors are used for graphic presentation of coronary risk as compared to "normal" risk. By repeated estimation alterations in coronary risk status can be compared to previous ones and thereby help evaluating the changes. This programme is highlighted by the presentation of changes in coronary risk of a patient during a 4-year-long period of her medical history. It is also shown how graphic presentation of risk can support the more effective treatment and patient care.
