About this trial
Prospective clinical study with two parts:
PART A: a prospective biomarker-based risk screening study in coronary heart disease (CHD) subjects PART B: a nested randomized clinical trial (RCT) in an enriched subpopulation of high-risk stable CHD subjects
PART A: 12 000 subjects with stable CHD
PART B: 2000 subjects with high risk of CV events will be randomized to usual care (UC) or personalised prevention program (PPP) i.e. 1000 subjects per arm.
Study purpose is to assess the clinical value and cost-effectiveness of a personalised prevention program (PPP) in high-risk, stable coronary heart disease (CHD) subjects and to prospectively validate risk screening biomarkers
