Summary

Height and weight are important informations in clinical life. Medication is dosed by them and weight, especially overweight, is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Mostly you have to rely on the self-reported informations, because there is plenty of work and little time to weigh and measure every patient. But can the investigators really trust this informations? Former studies have shown, that most of self-reported heights and weights differ from the measured ones. This fact might lead to a wrong dosage of medicine or underestimated risk factors. So the Cardial-MASS-Study tries to detect influencing factors on the reliability of self-reported informations especially among patients, treated at the cardiological department at Saarland University.
