Detection Study of Cardiovascular Risk in Toledo pharmacies (Spain)

Objetive: Determine the prevalence of CVR among people who visit pharmacies in the region of Toledo. Determine the capacity of pharmacies to assess CVR. Methods: It is carried out an observational cross-sectional study in which the CVR of the population of the region of Toledo that meets the inclusion criteria will be studied: Between 40 and 65 years old, with consent, cognitive state not impaired, be diagnosed and / or under treatment of any or only one of the following pathologies: HTA, DP or DMT2. Results: Pharmacies detected CVRF in more than half of the patients. In the CVR assessment, 3.9% (15) had high or very high RCV and 48.3% (183) had moderate CVR. Patients with a previous diagnosis of any of the chronic pathologies under study had a noncompliance with the therapeutic objective and / or altered levels of diagnostic values of pathologies that had not been diagnosed. This is the case of 61.5% (8) of patients on DMT2, 11.7% (9) of HTA patients and 8.8% (5) of DP patients who present high risk indicators. Conclusion: We conclude pharmacies have a real capacity to detect CVRF among people who come to them and they can also evaluate their CVR with reliability. We obtained correlation in the results with those of the WHO regarding the therapeutic failure and we proved the bad control of the population in general on pathologies related to the CVR.
