Better Adherence to Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Efforts Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Disease

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether knowledge of abnormal results from a noninvasive test for detection of subclinical atherosclerosis (carotid intima media thickness \[CIMT\]), in addition to knowledge of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, enhances adherence to healthy lifestyle behaviors in comparison to only CVD risk factor knowledge. We believe that participants with CVD risk factors who have knowledge of their own CIMT test results showing significant subclinical atherosclerosis will demonstrate better adherence to therapeutic lifestyle change (TLC) than those subjects from whom the CIMT test information is withheld.
