[Overweight and obesity in hypertensive Spanish patients. The CORONARIA study].

Background And Objective: Obesity is a major and independent cardiovascular risk factor. The aim of this study was to know overweight and obesity distribution in a sample of Spanish high systemic pressure patients (CORONARIA study), the risk factors associated and the calculated cardiovascular risk (CR) that the overweight produces.

Material And Method: 1,720 family physicians included 7,087 hypertensive patients with at least another CR factor associated.

[Coronary disease risk and prevalence of heart disease in primary care patients with hypertension and renal disease].

Introduction And Objectives: The presence of renal disease significantly alters the cardiovascular risk of patients with high blood pressure. However, few studies have examined renal parameters in primary care patients. The objectives of this study were to investigate cardiovascular risk and the factors influencing it in hypertensive patients with renal disease and to compare the findings with those in hypertensive patients without renal disease.

[Cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus and hypertension in Spain. The CORONARIA study].

Background And Objective: Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent disease with high cardiovascular mortality. Treatment of risk factors can reduce the associated cardiovascular risk. The CORONARIA study included 7253 patients with high risk systemic hypertension from different regions of Spain.
