Pharmacotherapy follow-up in the prevention of cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Portugal, alike what is verified in the remaining western countries. There are factors that increase the risk of its occurrence, that do not usually emerge isolated, tending to group in the individual. This coexistence results in a combined effect which is larger than the one expected from the sum of its individual effects. The global cardiovascular risk is defined as the percentage change of developing a cardiovascular event over a given period of time (generally 10 years). The purpose of global cardiovascular risk assessment is to identify the individuals who should be counseled and receive treatment to prevent a cardiovascular disease, as well as to establish the therapeutics aggressiveness level.
