Abstract

In march 2012, coinciding with the of Prevention of Cardiovascular Risk Day , and taking into account that in Spain cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death and that these can be avoided, we organized an activity in the health center of Aravaca (Northwest Area of primary care in Madrid) with the objective to create awareness between the population aged 40 to 65 years and offer alternatives such as nursing consultation, and relaxation techniques for cardiovascular risk prevention.
Our collaboration was an information display set out on a table, a nursing visit that measure cardiovascular risk and provides tips for prevention and also a talk which reinforced the messages from the table and the nursing consultation, as well as provide relaxation techniques to cope with stress.
