What this Trial Is About

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, and their prevalence is steadily increasing in Morocco. Between 2010 and 2012, the "All with heart" Association conducted a large-scale cardiovascular screening campaign in the Greater Casablanca region, involving more than 10,000 adults aged over 40 years. This 10-year follow-up study aims to evaluate long-term cardiovascular outcomes and to develop a Morocco-specific cardiovascular risk score. Follow-up data will be collected through phone calls, WhatsApp, or SMS with participants or their families to document cardiovascular deaths, myocardial infarctions, and strokes. Statistical analyses, including survival analysis and multivariate logistic regression, will be used to identify significant risk factors and to construct a predictive risk model tailored to the Moroccan population. The study received a favorable opinion from the Rabat Ethics Committee. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants or their families prior to data collection. The findings are expected to enhance understanding of cardiovascular risk evolution in Morocco and to provide a validated, population-specific risk score to support prevention and patient management strategies.
