Abstract Introduction Family history (FH) is an important part of the patients’ medical during preventive management at model family medicine practices (MFMP). It currently includes a one (or two) generational inquiry, predominately in terms cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension, and diabetes, but not other diseases with probable genetic aetiology. Beside history, no application-based algorithm available to determine risk level for specific chronic Slovenia. Methods A web aimed...
