Abstract
It was noted many years ago that the GP is in the most favourable position to identify, treat and follow up patients at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The GP is therefore the most obvious person to optimalise preventive cardiology. This position is not in dispute. What can be discussed, however, are some questions regarding the implementation of this task.Keywords
