Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) shorten average human life for 10 years. In total mortality rate they occupy the top of the list. According to the researches during the last decade, number of patients with CVD will continue to increase mainly due to obesity raise and increase in number of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. At the same time in CVD prevention presence of all risk factors is taken into consideration since they potentiate one another and significantly increase risk for CV event. Population and high-risk preventive strategies should be complementary; an approach limited to high-risk persons will be less effective; population education programs are still needed.In both strategies, the goal is reduction of risk for occurrence of fatal CVD event.

We should always consider modification of lifestyle since there is no adequate CVD prevention without it regardless application of various medicines.
