This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic "The American Heart Association PREVENT equation". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
Multivariable equations were recommended in the primary prevention guidelines to assess the absolute risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the current equations have several limitations. Therefore, today's study was specifically designed to develop and validate the American Heart Association's risk equation, known as the PREVENT equation.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to make the videos more didactic. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
At the end of this course you will know
- the clinical background and relevance of the research question under investigation
- the study design and methodology of the publication to answer the research question
- the results and key takeaways of the publication
- the conclusion of the publication and possible limitations
