Risk factor management: opportunity or necessity?

Abstract

The article is devoted to topical issues of reducing mortality from cardiovascular diseases and the role of behavioral risk factors on the example of the Ryazan region. There is a high contribution of acute and chronic forms of coronary heart disease (IHD) to mortality from diseases of the circulatory system and, in general, to mortality from all causes. The main risk factors contributing to the development of stroke, myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary interventions and all-cause mortality are dyslipidemias, high SCORE risk, high blood pressure, excessive alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease, stroke, a history of myocardial infarction, the need for exposure becomes obvious. on these factors and factors associated with a high risk of fatal and non-fatal events. Correction of risk factors is possible only through the implementation of integrated prevention programs. Preliminary results from the Healthy Heart 2021 project demonstrated the potential for improved control of risk factors at the population level and the need to continue the project at the regional level. In addition, it seems necessary to expand it with the formation of subprograms in the framework of reducing mortality from other chronic non-communicable diseases.
