Medical and social problems of management of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases leading to morbidity, disability and mortality

Abstract

Despite the success of recent decades in reducing mortality from diseases of the circulatory system (CVD), cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the most common non-communicable pathology in all countries of the world. CVDs have high rates of morbidity, disability, and mortality. The most common of these are arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease. CVD occurs against the background of the presence of risk factors (RF). The ability to timely detect risk factors and manage their level underlies the prevention of CVD. Monitoring the level of risk factors at the individual level and assessing their prevalence at the group level is not feasible without the use of specialized software. Registration and monitoring of patients in the program allows you to create a data archive for use by medical professionals and the patient himself. In the literature there is information about the prevention and medical examination of the population with cardiovascular diseases. However, to date, the medical and social problems of FR management in CVD have not been sufficiently described. In this regard, the effectiveness of measures carried out within the framework of prevention and medical examination decreases.The fight against diseases of the CVD group has not only social, but also economic significance. High rates of temporary disability and disability of patients lead to serious losses at the state level. This determines the need for further improvement of mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of CVD.
