GRECAP

Cardiovascular research group in primary care

The group is made up of seven family doctors, a preventive doctor and a graduate in Statistics, all working in Barcelona. 44% of its members are women. There are four doctors, two of whom are women and one more is finishing her doctoral thesis. The group has a recognized track record and was accredited as consolidated by AGAUR in 2021 (2021 SGR 01417). Within the group, several doctoral theses have been defended and another three are currently in progress.

The group's lines of work are specifically:

1. Heart Failure in Primary Care: Knowledge, attitudes and skills of patients and professionals regarding the management of heart failure. Evaluation of interventions.

2. High blood pressure and cardiovascular risk

3. Primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention
