- treated or untreated lipid abnormality,
- peripheral arterial disease,
- history of transient ischemic accident,
- tobacco consumption
- familial history of premature cardiovascular disease.
Exclusion Criteria:

Intervention
Control
Patients are referred to a cardiologist for a systematic detection of silent ischemia by a bicycle exercise test performed according to the French Society of Cardiology protocol after washout of cardiovascular medications likely to interfere with the test. Dipyridamole Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) is used in patients unable to perform the exercise test, with a sub-maximal negative exercise test result or with electrocardiographic abnormalities impairing the interpretation of the exercise test. Subsequent investigations (such as coronary angiography) and treatments (such as revascularization procedures) are left at the cardiologist's decision.
Patients are treated according current guidelines but are not referred to a cardiologist
