Randomised clinical trial of an intensive intervention in the primary care setting of patients with high plasma fibrinogen in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease

Abstract: BackgroundWe have studied the possible effects of an intensive lifestyle change program on plasma fibrinogen levels, in patients with no cardiovascular disease, with elevated levels of fibrinogen, normal cholesterol levels, and a moderate estimated risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and we have also analysed whether the effect on fibrinogen is independent of the effect on lipids.ResultsThis clinical trial was controlled, unblinded and randomized, with parallel groups, done in 13 Basic Health Areas (BHA) in l… Show more

“…In univariate logistic regression analysis, it proved to be a parameter related to the frequency of revascularisation (OR 1.01, 95% CI 1.00-1.02, p = 0.05). Noteworthy in this context is the study evaluating effects of lifestyle modification to reduce the high baseline levels of fibrinogen and other standard CV risk factors [10]. In a two-year observation, in the intensive treatment group, reduction of fibrinogen concentration was average by 31 mg/dL.…”

“…El estudio EFAP mostró que una intervención intensiva sobre los estilos de vida de 2 años de duración es eficaz en la reducción de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular: fibrinógeno, colesterol, presión arterial e IMC, en pacientes con hiperfibrinogenemia y riesgo cardiovascular moderado o alto13, 14, 15. En el presente estudio, a los 5 años de la finalización, se observa una disminución del beneficio de dicha intervención intensiva en la reducción de los niveles de fibrinógeno, colesterol total y presión arterial, manteniéndose sin embargo el efecto sobre el IMC.…”

“…El estudio inicial EFAP fue un ensayo clínico controlado y aleatorizado en pacientes sin antecedentes de enfermedad cardiovascular con cifras de colesterol plasmático normales (< 250 mg/dl), fibrinógeno alto (> 300 mg/dl), y riesgo cardiovascular moderado o alto según tablas de Framinghan. Este ensayo tuvo una duración de 2 años, del que se ha publicado previamente el diseño y los resultados13, 14, 15. Se realizó una intervención intensiva en el grupo de intervención: llamadas de teléfono para recibir refuerzo por una psicóloga y cartas para recordar cada una de las visitas con su médico, además de animar a perseverar en los cambios en el estilo de vida saludables, potenciando el abandono del hábito tabáquico en caso de consumo, el aumento de la actividad física y el seguimiento de una dieta cardiosaludable.…”
