Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary endpoint: <br>1) to summarize the characteristics and status of health care for patients with established atherosclerosis in Bavaria who are registered in the health insurance dataset in this region (including frequency of clinic visits, compliance with prescribed therapies, etc.); <br>2) to investigate the longitudinal effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic interventions (with a particular focus on cardiovascular events) in a cohort of patients with atherosclerosis drawn from a real-world setting, thus going well beyond the strict inclusion and exclusion criteria of randomized trials, including those with all-comers designs; <br>3) to create prognostic models that inform treating physicians on how to assign atherosclerotic or CHD patients to tailored prevention or treatment strategies, and in turn provide power calculations for potential future randomized trials.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Other topics include the relevance for optimal care in Bavaria with a focus on guideline-based therapy, health economic, geographic and political aspects.
