Overview

It is simple to determine the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) within the framework ofpreventive examinations of employees under risk, and it can be recommended for broaderapplication. Within the framework of the project there have been examined 2059 employees(329 males, 1730 females), their mean age being 36.1 years (36.9 and 36.0, respectively).A 10-20% risk of CVD was found in 139 (6.8%) employees (47 males, 92 females) and a 20-40%risk in 20 (0.9%) employees (17 males, 3 females). The risk at 60 years of age was 10-20% in715 (34.7%) employees (198 males, 517 females) and 20-40% in 101 (4.9%) employees (69 males,32 females). For establishing the risk there can be applied a simple computer program whichis available on our web site www.vasezdravesrdce.cz.Within the framework of CVD preventionin family members of patients suffering CVD there have been examined 55 family members (19males and 36 females),mean age 42.0 years (42.8 and 41.6, respectively). There has been foundan over 20% risk of CVD at 60 years of age in 7 relatives (7 males), mean age 56.8 years. It isnecessary to continue in searching for patients under risk. For conducting CVD prevention bothavailable strategies, the medical as well as the population one, should be combined.

Key words:
cardiovascular disease - risk factors - primary prevention - preventive examinations- relatives of CVD patients.
