Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 31 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this study is to test a village health worker (VHW) based care model to reduce cardiovascular risk among adults in areas of eastern Myanmar affected by armed conflict. All individuals aged 40 years and above will be invited to participate in this study. Participants will be checked whether they have a history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes (high blood sugar), high blood pressure or risk of developing cardiovascular disease by asking for medical history, measuring blood pressure, weight and height, and blood glucose if necessary. The main question the study aims to answer is: Does villagers residing in the VHW supported villages have their blood pressure controlled, adherent to therapy and subsequently reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease after 5 months of monthly VHW home visits?
