Abstract (AI)
Russia has one of the highest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world. The International Project on Cardiovascular Disease in Russia (IPCDR) was set up to understand the reasons for this. A substantial component of this study was the Know Your Heart Study devoted to characterising the nature and causes of cardiovascular disease in Russia by conducting large cross-sectional surveys in two Russian cities Novosibirsk and Arkhangelsk. The study population was 4542 men and women aged 35-69 years recruited from the general population. Fieldwork took place between 2015-18. There were two study components: 1) a baseline interview to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors, usually conducted at home, and 2) a comprehensive health check at a primary care clinic which included detailed examination of the cardiovascular system. In this paper we describe in detail the rationale for, design and conduct of these studies.
Key Findings
1
A comprehensive primary-care clinic examination provided detailed assessment of the cardiovascular system.
2
Fieldwork was conducted between 2015 and 2018 as part of the International Project on Cardiovascular Disease in Russia.
3
Participants completed a baseline interview covering sociodemographic characteristics and cardiovascular risk factors, usually at home.
4
The Know Your Heart Study investigated cardiovascular disease structure, function, and risk factors in Russia through large cross-sectional surveys.
5
The study recruited 4,542 men and women aged 35–69 years from the general populations of Novosibirsk and Arkhangelsk.
