Assessment and Digital-health Based Intervention on Subclinical Organ Damage and Cardiovascular Risk in Chinese

In this project, we will register outpatients with cardiovascular diseases and healthy subjects for cardiovascular health check-up in the cardiovascular research clinic of our hospital, comprehensively evaluate their cardiovascular risk factors, subclinical organ damage and cardiovascular diseases at baseline. For participants who is willing to go further, a digital-based intervention will be provided for them to improve their knowledge and behaviour on cardiovascular health. For all participants, their status on subclinical organ damage, cardiovascular diseases and events will be followed within five years. The primary outcome is the composite endpoints of cardiovascular adverse events including acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiovascular death. The secondary outcomes include individual cardiovascular adverse events, all-cause mortality, subclinical organ damage including cardiac damage (left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction), renal damage (chronic kidney disease, microalbuminuria), and vascular damage (arterial stiffness, plaques, intima-median thickening, retina arteriosclerosis). By doing these, we will be able to build a registry study and to reveal the epidemiology of subclinical organ damage, validate the association between subclinical organ damage and cardiovascular events in Chinese, and explore the significance of digital-based intervention in the prevention from subclinical organ damage and cardiovascular diseases and events.
