Total Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Management Using Two Prediction Tools, with and without Blood Cholesterol Porfirio Nordet MD, Shanthi Mendis MD, Alfredo Dueñas MD, Reinaldo de la Noval MD, Nurys Armas MD, Ismael L. de la Noval MD, Hilda Pupo MD
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Over the last decade, total cardiovascular risk assessment and management has been recommended by cardiovascular prevention guidelines in most high-income countries and by WHO. Cardiovascular risk prediction charts have been developed based on multivariate equations of values of some well-known risk factors such as age, sex, smoking, systolic blood pressure and diabetes, including or omitting total blood cholesterol. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were: to determine the distribution of cardiovascular risk in a Cuban population using the WHO/ International Society of Hypertension risk prediction charts with and without cholesterol; and to assess applicability of the risk prediction tool without cholesterol in a middle-income country, by evaluating concordance between the two approaches and comparing projected drug requirements resulting from each (at risk thresholds of ≥20% and ≥30%) and for the single-risk-factor approach. METHODS From April through December 2008, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 1287 persons (85.8% of the sample selected), aged 40–80 years living in a polyclinic catchment area of Havana, Cuba, based on the protocol and data from a WHO multinational study. The study used the two sets of the WHO and the International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) risk prediction charts, with and
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the main cause of death worldwide. In 2008, over 17 million people died from CVD (29% of all deaths); near 80% occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), often in people aged
