Using the Visualization for Lifestyle Change in Patients At Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases

An interventional study of CGM and Visualization in Cardiovascular Diseases, Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Diseases, sponsored by University Maribor. Completed at 1 site in Slovenia. Open to participants aged 40 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-01-24.

  1. The study's listed conditions name Coronary Artery Disease, a narrower term within Cardiovascular Diseases.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

In the framework of PhD research, the investigators will present a visualization of estimation of CVDs risk and the possibility of monitoring blood glucose levels in real-time. Based on the results, the investigators will assess the association of these with lifestyle change. The findings highlight the need for sufficiently reliable and high-quality evaluations of visualizations, technologies or applications used in the family medicine.

Read the detailed description

The investigators reviewed the existing literature and found little research on the use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and visualization of SCORE2 prognostic model in healthy populations and how they can influence lifestyle change. The investigators will conduct a randomised control trial with 3 intervention groups and 1 control gropu. The investigators also found that primary care nurses are still using paper-based methods to calculate CVDs by using colour-coded charts. Therefore, the investigators will use the visual tool of the SCORE2 scale to identify possible increased participants motivation using visualization. The investigators will also confirm or refute lifestyle change by calculating biological age.

In context

Coronary Artery Disease Reclassified

4,857 studies on the registry are indexed under Coronary Artery Disease; 890 are open to participants now.

This study's enrollment of 120 is close to the median of 124 across 3,006 interventional studies indexed under Coronary Artery Disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of change of lifestyle.

    Change of lifestyle will be assessed using the Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control Questionnaire from Darviri, et al., 2014. The goal of this questionnaire is to detect and quantify lifestyle patterns that reflect health empowerment and for assessing the efficacy of future health-promoting interventions to improve individuals' lifestyles and wellbeing. The assessment is based on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = never or rarely, 2 = sometimes, 3 = often and 4 = always). The final calculation of lifestyle is based on the sum of the dimensions. The dimensions can also be compared individually with each other at the final stage to determine which dimension has experienced the greatest change in lifestyle. The minimum possible score is 31, indicating no change in lifestyle, and the maximum possible score is 90, indicating the greatest change in lifestyle.

    Time frame: Change in Healthy Lifestyle and Personal Control Questionnaire score will be assessed at the enrolment of the participants followed by the examination in the period of up to 6 months after the enrolment.

  2. Assessment of person-centred care.

    The Person-Centred Practice Inventory - Service User consists of 20 items measuring participants agreement with statements related to perceptions of person-centred care and includes 5 constructs: working with participants beliefs and values, shared decision making, compassionate presence and holistic care.The score is based on a 5-point Likert scale. The lowest level of participants agreement is 20 and the highest level is 100.

    Time frame: The Person-Centred Practice Inventory - Service User score will be assessed at the enrolment of the participants followed by the examination in the period of up to 6 months after the enrolment.

  3. Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 risk

    Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 is designed to calculate the risk of CVD according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 prognostic model (ESC, 2022).The higher the percentage, the higher the risk.

    Time frame: Change in Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation 2 score will be assessed at the enrolment of the participants followed by the examination in the period of up to 6 months after the enrolment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assessment in Biological age

    Biological age tells us whether we are physiologically younger or older than our chronological age.The scale depends on each individual - it's individual. The closer the biological age result is to the chronological one, the better the result.

    Time frame: Change in Biological age will be assessed at the enrolment of the participants followed by the examination in the period of up to 3 and 6 months after the enrolment.
