Abstract
Across the world, CVDs continue to be the major cause of morbidity and death. In the context of primary prevention, the purpose of this research is to evaluate and contrast the efficacy of pharmacologic preventive measures and lifestyle adjustments in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Participant recruitment took place inside a primary care environment for the purpose of this cohort research. Participants were separated into two groups, 50 participants in each group: those who made changes to their lifestyle (such as changing their diet, stopping smoking, or engaging in physical activity) and those who received therapeutic preventative methods (such as medication or medical procedures). The baseline cardiovascular risk variables were evaluated and participants were followed up for a period of time in order to monitor changes in risk factors and the occurrence of cardiovascular events. In order to ensure that the results of the two groups were comparable, the data were evaluated using statistical techniques. There was a considerable reduction in cardiovascular risk variables as a consequence of both pharmacological therapy techniques and lifestyle adjustments, according to the findings of the study. On the other hand, the group that made changes to their lifestyle had a higher decrease in blood pressure in comparison to the group who received therapeutic intervention. In addition, the group who made changes to their lifestyle had a reduced incidence of cardiovascular events, which further suggests that these changes had a more significant influence on the long‐term health of their cardiovascular system. After doing the research, the researchers came to the conclusion that changes to one's lifestyle are more successful than therapeutic preventive techniques in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease in primary prevention. As a fundamental method for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, our results underline the significance of encouraging healthy lifestyle choices. It would be beneficial to do more study to investigate the long‐term advantages of lifestyle alterations as well as the difficulties involved with adhering to them.
