Impact of Assessment and Management of Comorbidities in Internal Medicine on Cardiovascular Risk

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Screening and management of cormobidities: During the routine care assessment and as part of the research, patients will : * Fill in cardiovascular risk assessment score: Life's simple 7 * Provide an additional blood sample (1 dry tube of 7 mL and 1 heparin tube of 7 mL) during their biological testing. These samples will be used for lipoprotein (a) testing and biological collection. After hospital discharge, patients will be contacted by telephone at 3 and 12 months for re-evaluation and will fill in the Life's simple 7 score. Prior to this contact, patients will have biological tests as prescribed just before hospital discharge (including blood ionogram, creatinine, liver assessment, lipid assessment (LDL, HDL, triglycerides), fasting blood sugar test, A1C test, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, protein/ urinary creatinine ratio). They will weigh themselves and take blood pressure self-measurements over 3 days.

Study summary

The aim of assessing and managing cardiovascular risk is to avoid, limit or delay cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Planned internal medicine hospitalization is developed around the management of cardiovascular risk in patients at high cardiovascular risk, whether in primary prevention or secondary prevention.

During planned hospitalization, patients benefit from comprehensive, personalized and adapted care for their comorbidities and their CVRF (cardiovascular risk factors).

This study will make it possible to evaluate this overall course of multidisciplinary management of comorbidities of patients at high cardiovascular risk.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Screening and management of comorbidities effect on cardiovascular risk factors — 3 months after enrollment
  Effect of comorbidities screening and management on cardiovascular risk factors in patients at high-risk of a cardiovascular event. The life's simple 7 score will be used at enrollment and 3 months afterward. The score includes four modifiable behaviors (smoking, weight, healthy/unhealthy eating diet and physical activity) and three biometric measures (blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar level). These seven factors are classified into three categories: ideal, intermediate and poor. Life's Simple 7 summary score ranges from 0 to a maximum of 14 points, with a higher score indicating healthier status.
