Medical awareness of risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in different types of hospitalized patients (part 2)

Objective. To study medical awareness of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) in different types of hospitalized patients (pts). Methods. A total of 150 pts from neurological, endocrinological and cardiac units one of Moscow city hospital were enrolled into the survey (50 pts in each unit). The pts were interviewed during the I-II days of the hospitalization. A special questionnaire was developed in‑ cluding socio-demographic and clinical indicators, open questions on the awareness of traditional cardiovascular RFs and their target values. Results. Pts of three units did not differ in gender and age. The range of diagnoses corresponded to the profile of the unit. The survey revealed an extremely low awareness of major cardiovascular RFs of pts in all 3 units: almost none of them pointed to elevated cholesterol (0%, 4% and 0%, respectively) and blood pressure (2%, 2% and 0%) respectively) as RF of cardiovascular diseases. The pts of the three units most often referred to stress (64%, 56% and 66%, respectively) and unhealthy diet (50%, 56% and 64%, respectively) as the main cardiovascular RFs. On average, pts in three units correctly indicated only 2 RFs. Conclusion. The survey revealed a low awareness of cardiovascular RFs in different types of medical pts, including cardiac pts, at time of hospital admission.
