Abstract
Little is known for high risk people with CVD at the community level. In rural China, health records of all residents were established after the recent health reforms. This study aims to describe the characters of the rural population with high CVD risk regarding their clinical indicators, disease patterns, drug treatment and adherence.
This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s COMDIS–HSD Programme which is led by the University of Leeds
