Level of Concordance Between Patients Perception and Physicians Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risk

This is a national, non interventional, prospective study performed in the general practice setting.

The study has been designed :

* to assess the level of concordance between patients' cardiovascular risk perception and the cardiovascular risk evaluated by the physicians, * and to evaluate the impact of patients' exposure to a medical information leaflet on patients' cardiovascular risk perception.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cardiovascular risks perceived by patients before and after reading the Medical Information Leaflet

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Actual cardiovascular risk calculated using SCORE

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Characteristics of patients whose self-evaluation of their CVR is concordant with their actual CVR

    Time frame: Baseline

  4. Characteristics of patients whose self-evaluation of their CVR is discordant with their actual CVR

    Time frame: Baseline

  5. Risk factors considered by patients in self-assessing their CVR
