Abstract:
The medical profession must take strong responsibility in the field of coronary heart disease prevention. Among other things, it is necessary to develop and implement effective strategies for non-pharmacologic treatment of high cholesterol levels, in order to avoid unnecessary medicalization. It is evident that the normal level of care for this is primary care. Important cornerstones for the process of project implementation are suggested, partly based on experience from a hypertension project. These cornerstones are reorganization of care and development of local project ownership. Experience from a postgraduate Swedish National education program is used to promote the concept of problem-oriented education.
