Text: Significant differences were also observed for secondary outcomes : (a) awareness of CV diseases burden : more trained GPs were aware of the lethality from myocardial infarction (37 % vs. 21 %, p = 0. 047) and considered it as the main cause of sudden death in adults (78 % vs. 59 %, p = 0. 018) ; (b) knowledge of risk factors : more trained GPs considered familial CV history (89 % vs. 73 %, p = 0. 021) and HDL-cholesterol (82 % vs. 62 %, p = 0. 013) as important CV risk factors ; (c) therapeutic attitudes : fewer trained GPs used to prescribe a lipid-lowering drug based on a total cholesterol value without considering the other risk factors (44 % vs. 65 %, p = 0. 013).
