Objectives: To determine the prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in Spain, as well as cardiovascular events, in Spanish adult population attended in primary care.
Methodology: IBERICAN is a longitudinal, observational, multicenter study in which patients aged 18 to 85years attended in primary care health center in Spain are being included. The obtained cohort will be followed annually for at least 5years.
Objective: To assess non-compliance (NC) and therapeutic inertia (TI) after 6 months of follow-up in hypertensive patients with poorly controlled blood pressure and high cardiovascular risk.
Research Design And Methods: Longitudinal, multicentre study; 3900 uncontrolled hypertensive patients were recruited from 585 primary healthcare centres. Tablets were counted during visits at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months.
Introduction And Objectives: To assess compliance with treatment inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers) in uncontrolled hypertension in patients at high cardiovascular risk.
Methods: Prospective, longitudinal, multicenter study, carried out in 102 Spanish primary care centers. We included 808 uncontrolled hypertensive patients treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers who were at high vascular risk; 4 visits were conducted: baseline and 1, 3, and 6 months later.
Background And Objectives: Information about the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the population treated in primary care is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of CKD in Spanish hypertensive women aged 64 years or older, and to determine possible associated factors.
Patients And Method: Cross-sectional study including women with a diagnosis of hypertension selected by consecutive sampling in primary care.
Objectives: To determine the level of therapeutic inertia (TI), and the factors associated to the patient, doctor and the health organisation, in hypertensive patients treated in Primary Care (PC).
Design: Cross-sectional, multicentre study.
Setting: A sample of PC Teams from all over Spain.
Objectives: To determine the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) (heart failure, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, renal insufficiency, and peripheral arterial disease) on blood pressure (BP) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) control in hypertense patients.
Design: We analysed the subset of patients with CVD from those included in the PRESCOT study (a cross-sectional study of hypertense patients attended in primary care).
Setting: A total of 2000 primary care physicians participated in the study.
Background And Objective: To evaluate the arterial hypertension (AHT) prevalence in a wide sample of immigrant patients.
Patients And Method: A transversal and multicentric study that has included immigrant patients aged 18 years or more, consecutive sampling recruitment in primary healthcare consultations. The patient was defined with AHT hypertension when the average of 6 measurements in 3 visits (2 measurements per visit) was > or = 140 mmHg for the systolic blood pressure and/or 90 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure or if the patient had been previously diagnosed.
Background And Objective: We aimed to assess the blood pressure (BP) control in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) treated in primary care (PC) and to establish the factors associated with a suboptimal control of BP.
Patients And Method: This was a multicenter, transverse study. Ninety investigators included 875 patients with DM (57.
