Risk factors in cardiovascular patients: Challenges and opportunities to improve secondary prevention

CONCLUSION: Implementation of the current ESC recommendations for CHD secondary prevention and, in particular, the control rate of BP, are insufficient. Given the fact that patients with different comorbid pathologies are at a very high risk, this is of great importance in the management of such patients. This should be taken into account by healthcare organizers when planning secondary prevention activities and public health protection measures, especially in the regions at a high risk for CVD. A wide range of educational products based on the Clinical Practice Guidelines should be used to improve the adherence of healthcare professionals and patients to the management of CVD risk factors.PMID:37576543 | PMC:PMC10415862 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v15.i7.342
