Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286230 0
To improve psychological (depression, anxiety and quality of life) outcomes in those with CVD.

On recruitment, 3 months, 6 months
Primary outcome [2] 286231 0
To examine if improved physiological outcomes in patients with CVD are associated with adherence to guideline risk factor modification.

The participants will be asked several questions in regards to their walking and sport habits to assess their level of physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Additional ongoing measure of modifiable biometric and lifestyle risk factors (RR, body weight, BMI, blood cholesterol) will indicate adherence / change to secondary prevention guidelines.
