Best Practices Guide Cardiovascular Disease

Best Practices Guide – Cardiovascular Disease

The Best Practices Guide for Cardiovascular Disease highlights strategies that have been found to be effective for widespread control of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, but which are not yet being used widely as standard practice. The Guide focuses specifically on strategies used in healthcare systems and community programs linked to clinical services. Improvements made in these areas can help create environments where people are better able to receive quality care, make healthier choices, and take control of their health. CDC funds state and local programs and key partner organizations to put health care system interventions and community-clinical links into action to prevent CVD.
