Various non-pharmacologic behaviour interventions for the control of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are integrated into a multifactorial programme in this book. The practical approach emphasizes enhanced communication among medical specialists and patients to achieve changes of daily lifestyle; it includes the assessment of nutritional intake, enhanced physical activity and patient education. This approach, which has been applied to subjects with mild to moderate hypertension, is equally valid for those at risk of developing CVD without hypertension.
