Summary

Successfully communicating cardiovascular risk to patients is essential for achieving compliance to medication and lifestyle changes. An intuitive way to translate cardiovascular risk is to present a Heart Age; an ECG-based age-estimation from ECG changes which can be contrasted to a patient's chronological age. In this pilot study, the feasibility of a randomized controlled study (RCT) in which hypertensive patients in primary care will receive information about their ECG-based Heart Age in addition to standard care, or standard care alone, will be assessed, in preparation for a larger RCT.
