[Evaluation of cardiovascular risk in the cross-sectional phase of the Mediterranean Study].

Introduction And Objectives: The Mediterranean study quantifies high cardiovascular risk (HCR), consistency between REGICOR (R) and low risk SCORE (LS) scales, altered blood pressure (ABP) values in hypercholesterolemia (HC) without any history of hypertension (HT), high total cholesterol (HTC) values with HT with no background of HC and cardiac and renal damage in hypertensive patients.

Patients And Methods: A national, cross-sectional and multicenter study was performed with the participation of 751 physicians. The physicians individually evaluated 7,973 patients with HT and 5,319 with HC.

[Evaluation of cardiovascular risk in the longitudinal phase of the Mediterranean study].

Introduction And Objectives: There is little information on cardiovascular longitudinal studies. In Spanish patients with hypertension (AHT)) and/or hypercholesterolemia (HC), with poor initial control of blood pressure (BP) and/or total cholesterol (TC), incidence rate (IR), cumulative incidence (CI), relative risks (RR), survival curves (SC), therapeutic compliance (TC) were quantified and the Framingham-Anderson scale (FAS) was adjusted to our patients.

Patients And Methods: A total of 6,893 primary prevention patients with AHT and/or with HC were included in primary prevention, with an average of 1.

[Agreement between REGICOR and SCORE scales in identifying high cardiovascular risk in the Spanish population].

Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate the consistency between the SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation) and REGICOR (Registre Gironí del cor) scales in identifying high cardiovascular risk and to describe the characteristics of those individuals for whom scale results were discrepant.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 8942 subjects aged 40-65 years who had an indication for a complete lipid profile. The agreement between SCORE (for low-risk countries) and Framingham-REGICOR (with a high risk threshold of 10%) scales in classifying patients as high risk was evaluated using the kappa statistic.

[Design and validation of the questionnaire on Women's Sexual Function (WSF)].

Objective: To design and validate a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate sexual function in women.

Design: Cross-sectional, multi-centre study.

Setting: Primary care, in 9 health centres of the Community of Valencia.

[Effectiveness of combined therapy at set doses in a cohort of hypertense patients not controlled by single therapy].

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the fixed dose of a lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide combination treatment in the control of blood pressure, in poorly controlled high blood pressure people, treated with monotherapy.Design. Prospective observational study.
