КРАЙЪГЪЛНИЯТ КАМЪК В ПРЕВЕНЦИЯТА – КОЙ ДИАГНОСТИЦИРА ДИСЛИПИДЕМИЯТА В ЕЖЕДНЕВНАТА ПРАКТИКА.

Dyslipidemia is a fundamental risk factor that leads to cardiovascular disease. Its treatment improves the prognosis of patients ‒ morbidity and mortality are significantly reduced in the successfully treated compared to untreated patients. In everyday practice, not only the question who treats dyslipidemia, but also the question who diagnoses it still remain. Although there are clearly defined targets, the thresholds remain difficult to achieve in pre-hospital care. The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and the main medical professionals responsible for its diagnosis. We found that the leading role remains with the cardiologist in primary-non-hospital and hospital care, and people with better education and better socio-economic status are more informed about their condition and receive treatment. Improving the relationship with the patients, their health awareness and the implementation of optimal collaboration between health professionals would improve the effectiveness in the prevention of this important risk factor.
