Influence of lifestyle in cardiovascular disease - regional characteristics

Abstract

With the investigation through epidemiological anamnesis of the cohort of patients with cardiovascular disease admitted for tertiary prevention hospital we retrospectively assessed their cardiovascular risk factors, taking into account the patient's area of origin as it can significantly influence their lifestyle. Specific to this research we consider the constitution of the study group from patients who have a long history of cardiovascular disease, patients on whom risk factors, respectively protective factors have had a long period of action, and the use for characterization of the population, not for their aggregation in tools to assess total cardiovascular risk (as is the trend in large cohort studies since Framingham).
