[European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice. Spanish adaptation of the CEIPC 2008]. / Guía Europea de Prevención Cardiovascular en la Práctica Clínica. Adaptación Española del Comité Español Interdisciplinario para la Prevención Cardiovascular (CEIPC) 2008.

We present the Spanish adaptation made by the CEIPC of the European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention (CVD) in Clinical Practice 2008. This guide recommends the SCORE model for risk evaluation. The aim is to prevent premature mortality and morbidity due to CVD through the management of its related risk factors in clinical practice. The guide focuses on primary prevention and emphasizes the role of the nurses and primary care medical doctors in promoting a healthy life style, based on increasing physical activity, change dietary habits, and non smoking. The therapeutic goal is to achieve a Blood Pressure < 140/90 mmHg, but among patients with diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or definite CVD, the objective is <130/80 mmHg. Serum cholesterol should be < 200 mg/dl and cLDL<130 mg/dl, although among patients with CVD or diabetes, the objective is <100 mg/dl (80 mg/dl if feasible in very high-risk patients). Patients with type 2 diabetes and those with metabolic syndrome must lose weight and increase their physical activity, and drugs must be administered whenever applicable, to reach body mass index (BMI) guided and waist circumference objectives. In diabetic type 2 patients, the objective is glycated haemoglobin <7%. Allowing people to know the guides and developing implementation programs, identifying barriers and seeking solutions for them, are priorities for the CEIPC in order to transfer the recommendations established into the daily clinical practice.

Guía Europea de Prevención Cardiovascular en la Práctica Clínica. Adaptación Española del Comité Español Interdisciplinario para la Prevención Cardiovascular (CEIPC) 2008 / European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice. Spanish adaptation of the CEIPC 2008

Presentamos la adaptación española realizada por el CEIPC de la Guía Europea de Prevención de las Enfermedades Cardiovasculares (ECV) 2008. Esta guía recomienda el modelo SCORE de bajo riesgo para la valoración del riesgo cardiovascular. El objetivo es prevenir la mortalidad y morbilidad debidas a las ECV mediante el manejo de sus factores de riesgo en la práctica clínica. La guía hace énfasis en la prevención primaria y en el papel del médico y la enfermería de atención primaria en la promoción de un estilo de vida saludable, basado en el incremento de los niveles de actividad física, la adopción de una alimentación saludable y, en los fumadores, el abandono del tabaco. La meta terapéutica para la presión arterial es en general <140/90 mmHg; pero en pacientes con diabetes, enfermedad renal crónica o ECV el objetivo es 130/80 mmHg. El colesterol debe mantenerse por debajo de 200 mg/dl (cLDL<130 mg/dl); en los pacientes con ECV o diabetes el objetivo es cLDL<100 mg/dl (80 mg/dl si factible en sujetos de muy alto riesgo). En diabetes tipo 2 y en pacientes con síndrome metabólico se debe reducir el peso y aumentar la actividad física y en su caso utilizar los fármacos indicados, para alcanzar los objetivos de índice de masa corporal (IMC) y de perímetro de cintura. El objetivo en diabéticos tipo 2 debe ser alcanzar un nivel de hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c) <7%. La amplia difusión de las guías y el desarrollo de los programas destinados a favorecer su implantación, identificando barreras y buscando soluciones, son objetivos prioritarios del CEIPC, como uno de los medios fundamentales para trasladar las recomendaciones establecidas a la práctica clínica diaria (AU)
