Kardiovize Brno 2030

Kardiovize is a multidisciplinary epidemiological project focused on the prevention of cardiovascular and age-related diseases in the population of Brno. The project is based on a population cohort study – a randomly selected sample of people aged 25-64 years, stratified by age and sex, representing 1% of the adult population of Brno. This prospective study was designed to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, but also to monitor long-term trends in the central European urban population living in the Czech Republic. The first phase of the project, including recruitment and baseline examination of the Kardiovize cohort (Baseline), was conducted in 2013-2014. Several additional examinations were completed in 2015-2016.
