Abstract

Kardiovaskularne bolesti su vodeći uzrok morbiditeta i mortaliteta kako u svijetu, tako i kod nas te ih to čini jednim od najvažnijih javnozdravstvenih problema današnjice. Posljednjih nekoliko godina se ipak bilježi trend smanjenja udjela KVB u ukupnoj smrtnosti našeg stanovništva što je jasan pokazatelj mogućnosti prevencije kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Promjenama životnoga stila moglo bi se prevenirati čak ¾ ukupnoga kardiovaskularnog mortaliteta u svijetu. Kardiovaskularna bolest najčešće nastaje kombinacijom nekoliko rizičnih faktora, s time da neke kombinacije povećavaju ukupni rizik više od drugih ili pojedinačnih. Među najčešće rizične čimbenike kardiovaskularnih bolesti ubrajaju se nepravilna prehrana, smanjena tjelesna aktivnost, pušenje, prekomjerna konzumacija alkohola i svakodnevno izlaganje stresu. No, važna je činjenica da su glavni faktori rizika za kardiovaskularne bolesti preventabilni, odnosno, da su podložni primarnoj prevenciji. Prema položaju liječnika obiteljske medicine u zdravstvenom sustavu i njegovom bliskom, trajnom kontaktu s populacijom razumljivo je kako je liječniku obiteljske medicine preventivni rad neodvojivi dio svakodnevnog rada. Brojni kontakti liječnika i bolesnika nude mogućnost primarne prevencije, odnosno savjetovanje o promjenama životnih navika te kontinuirano praćenje izvršenja plana prevencije.

Abstract (english)

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality both in the world and in Croatia, which makes them one of the most important current problems in the public health care system. In recent years there has been a decrease in the percentage of mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases in Croatia, which implies that prevention is possible. As much as ¾ of total mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by a change of lifestyle. Cardiovascular diseases are most often a result of the combination of a few risk factors, where some combinations increase a total risk more than other combinations or other individual factors. Some of the most common risk factors include irregular diet, reduced physical activity, smoking, overconsumption of alcohol and daily exposure to stress. It is very important that the main risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases are preventable. Due to the position of the family medicine doctor in the health system and his close and continuous contact with the population it can be concluded that the preventive work is an everyday job of a general practitioner. Continuous communication between a doctor and a patient makes room for a possible primary prevention, i.e. counseling on the lifestyle changes and regular monitoring of the execution of the prevention plan.
