The Program to Assess the Influence of Routing and In-depth Consultation of Patients With Cardiovascular Risk Factors on the Choice of Medicine and Treatment Compliance

A systematic collection of retrospective and prospective data based on non-interventional patient observation, aimed to assess the risks, course and outcomes of a disease or a group of diseases:

• the retrospective part: database of patients with cardiovascular risks;
• the prospective part: observation of patients in the real world medical practice.

The research program will have two parts:

Stage 1: identification of patients with moderate, high and very high cardiovascular risk, not having diseases of atherosclerotic genesis and requiring lipid-lowering drugs.

Data on the following subjects is planned to be collected in the project:

• Aged from 40 to 65 years inclusively
• With a high (≥5%) cardiovascular risk measured by SCORE and low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels of ≥2,5 mmol/L, or with a very high (≥10%) cardiovascular risk measured by SCORE and LDL levels ≥1,8 mmol/L or With atherosclerotic stenosis of brachiocephalic arteries of >50% in the absence of cerebrovascular disease

Exclusion criteria:

• No contraindications to statin treatment and not taking stating at study entry.
