Description
We have sought to promote the effectiveness of cardiovascular disease prevention by organising the Hungarian Cardiovascular Consensus Conference and by widely disseminating the recommendations of the Consensus Conference. The first such Consensus Conference was organised in 2003 by 9 scientific societies, 13 in 2005, 15 in 2007 and the most recent VIIIth Hungarian Cardiovascular Consensus Conference 2020. In November 2005, 19 scientific societies participated and agreed on recommendations that, taking into account the latest evidence and therapeutic options, defined the target values for blood pressure, lipids, blood glucose, BMI, abdominal circumference for each cardiovascular risk category and detailed lifestyle and therapeutic recommendations, which were widely disseminated to ensure that new effective therapies are incorporated into everyday practice as soon as possible.
