Overview
Aim:
To evaluate the incidence of cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome in a population of physicians, secondary education health care professionals and other health care professionals.
Sample:
1176 respondents examined during the Czech Society of Cardiology, Czech Hypertension Society and Jan Evangelista Purkyne Society congresses in 2007 and 2008.
Results:
Based on the medical history, hypertension was present in 11.6%, diabetes mellitus or glucose tolerance disorder in 2.3%. Ideal weight was observed in 60.4% of respondents, hypercholesterolaemia in 28.6% and hypertriglyceridaemia in 27.7%. Optimal or normal systolic pressure was seen in just under 40% of respondents. The mean glucose level was 5.29 ± 1.0 mmol/l, total cholesterol 4.99 ± 1.27 mmol/l, HDL‑cholesterol 1.39 ± 0.45 mmol/l, LDL‑cholesterol 3.68 ± 1.19 mmol/l, triglycerides 1.52 ± 1.02 mmol/l. The target total cholesterol levels (according to the Czech Society of Cardiology guidelines) were achieved in 51.7% of men and 35.1% of women treated for hyperlipoproteinaemia. High cardiovascular risk was identified in 86 persons (7.3%). High cardiovascular risk at 60 years of age was identified in 233 individuals (19.8%). Criteria of metabolic syndrome according to IDF 2005 were fulfilled in 306 respondents (26.0%).
Conclusion:
High cardiovascular risk was calculated in 7.3 % of respondents, high cardiovascular risk at 60 years of age in almost 20% of respondents. There was no statistically significant difference between physicians and other health care professionals.
Key words:
heart score – metabolic syndrome – cardiovascular risk
