Challenges in Developing Evidence-Based Recommendations for Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Reduction

Non-pharmacological interventions are the cornerstone of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk reduction. Developing evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacological interventions can be challenging because of the complexities associated with conducting high-quality research on the efficacy or effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. This chapter will summarize key challenges in developing evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacological interventions for ASCVD risk reduction.
