ABSTRACT
La enfermedad cardiovascular arteriosclerótica sigue siendo la principal causa de muerte prematura en países tanto desarrollados como en vías de desarrollo. Pese a ello, los estudios muestran que la mayor parte de los pacientes no alcanzan los niveles recomendados en estilo de vida, control de los factores de riesgo o dianas terapéuticas en prevención primaria y secundaria. El objetivo de esta puesta al día es reflejar las más recientes novedades en lo que respecta a clasificación y estimación del riesgo cardiovascular y documentar los últimos cambios en campos como tabaquismo, dieta y nutrición, actividad física, lípidos, hipertensión, diabetes mellitus y rehabilitación, todo ello basado en estudios tanto experimentales como observacionales poblacionales (AU)
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains the major cause of premature death in developed and developing countries. Nevertheless, surveys show that most patients still do not achieve the lifestyles, risk factor levels, and therapeutic targets recommended in primary and secondary prevention. The present update reflects the most recent novelties in risk classification and estimation of risk and documents the latest changes in fields such as smoking, diet and nutrition, physical activity, lipids, hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular rehabilitation, based on experimental trials and population-based observational studies (AU)
