Ongoing Trials With Lifestyle
and Obesity Management
(Prevention of Cardiovascular Events)
Trial - GOSPEL
GlObal Secondary Prevention
strategiEs to Limit event recurrence after myocardial infarction
Outcome: Cardiovascular
mortality, non fatal re-MI, angina requiring hospitalization,
urgent revascularization procedures, hospitalization for
heart failure, non fatal stroke.
Expected total enrollment: 3241
patients with recent (<3 months) myocardial infarction who
completed an initial cardiac rehabilitation programme.
Comparisons: Long-lasting
(over 3 years) multifactorial continued educational and behavioural
programme (extensive cardiac rehabilitation sessions, monthly
from months 1 to 6, then every 6 months for 3 years with
aerobic exercise, comprehensive lifestyle and risk factor
counseling, and clinical assessment) vs usual care.
Design: Randomized,
open label, active control, parallel assignment.

Mission of the Metabolic
Syndrome Institute |
Created in 2003, the Metabolic Syndrome Institute is an independent and not for profit association. Its members are international experts in lipid metabolism, diabetes, heart disease, endocrinology obesity, genetics, epidemiology, basic research and health economics. Being the first association totally devoted to the dissemination of knowledge about the metabolic syndrome, the Metabolic Syndrome Institute will provide an international multidisciplinary approach to a worldwide public health problem. |
