| Atherosclerosis Secondary Prevention Study | Leonard Arnolda Jose Cuenca Fernando San Gil Luise Lago |
The aim of this retrospective longitudinal data linkage study is to characterise Illawarra Shoalhaven residents with an atherosclerotic event. The study aims to identify whether second atherosclerotic events can be attributed to failure to implement proven strategies for preventing cardiovascular disease or if they occur despite implementation of secondary prevention measures. | Research Governance, Research Central, Clinical Chemistry Department; [CHRISP] |
