Cardiovascular risk<\/strong> is the probability<\/strong> that a person or group of people can have a cardiovascular event<\/strong> within a certain period of time<\/strong>. In this definition there are several elements that must be explained: the concepts of “risk” and “probability”, what we mean by “group of people”, what is a “cardiovascular event”, what does it mean and what importance does “time” have, and how cardiovascular “prevention”<\/strong> is performed. Let\u2019s take a look…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK<\/span> AND PROBABILITY: THE UNCERTAINTY OF CHRONIC DISEASES<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When we talk about a risk we do not refer to a certainty<\/strong>. In chronic diseases or conditions (such as cardiovascular diseases<\/strong>) we work with probabilities, which will be higher or lower depending on the type of disease or the cardiovascular risk<\/strong> factors that the person or group of people have.<\/p>\n

2. CARDIOVASCULAR RISK OF THE POPULATION, OF THE GROUP, OF THE PERSON<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In general, cardiovascular risk assessment<\/strong> is performed to try to predict (and avoid) the probability of certain cardiovascular events<\/strong> occurring in a population. However, and more so in the era of personalised medicine<\/strong>, more and more people need and seek to know their personalised and individual cardiovascular risk<\/strong>, or at least that of people very similar to them (e.g. that of people who have diabetes<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

\n

“More and more people need and seek to know THEIR OWN personalised and individual cardiovascular risk”<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. CARDIOVASCULAR EVENT<\/span>: BAD NEWS THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING<\/strong><\/h2>\n

More than 90% of cardiovascular events or diseases are produced by the hardening of the arteries and the formation in them of atheromatous plaques: atherosclerosis.<\/strong> These plaques can generate acute cardiovascular events<\/strong> (such as infarction<\/strong> or angina pectoris<\/strong>, or stroke <\/strong><\/a>or cerebral infarction<\/strong>), or chronic cardiovascular events<\/strong>, such as chronic angina pectori<\/strong>s, chronic lower limb ischaemia, some types of dementia, kidney failure<\/strong><\/a> or certain erection problems<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

“More than 90% of cardiovascular events or diseases are caused by atherosclerosis” <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Dr. Emilio Ortega Mart\u00ednez de Victoria<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

4. Time<\/span> in cardiovascular risk: \u00bfThe chronicle of an announced event?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The time the person who has been or is exposed to the cardiovascular risk factors<\/strong> is important: it’s needed time to develop an arteriosclerosis<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cIt was clear”<\/em>, says people. The risk of having a cardiovascular event increases with the age, in special since 50 years in male and 55 in woman.<\/p>\n

5. Avoiding<\/span> a cardiovascular event is possible<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Don’t smoke, reduce the quantity of alcohol consumed, start to do physical activity<\/strong>, lose some kilogram if you are overweight, try to follow a meditarrean diet<\/strong>. You also need a personal and global evaluation of the cardiovascular risk<\/strong> to control in an integral way your cardiovascular risk factors<\/strong> (diabetes, colesterol, weight, hypertension, etc).\u00a0In some cases, there will be needed some laboratory test or some complementary images (ecography, scanner, etc.) to give you a better counsil and to make you know and understand better your risk and how to reduce it.<\/p>\n
