Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): statutory measures.
The aim of the study was to identify factors correlating with estimated an individual’s 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal CVD events (myocardial infarction, stroke) in apparently healthy people aged 40-69 years with risk factors that are untreated or have been stable for several years and independent predictors of high and very high CVD risk.
148 patients from high-risk country without established ASCVD, diabetes mellitus, CKD, Familial Hypercholesterolemia were included in the study. The clinical examination, laboratory results, chest x-ray, echocardiography using Vivid E95 - GE Healthcare, non-invasive body mass analysis using Body Composition Analyzer (Tanita Pro), spiroergometry using The MetaSoft® Studio application were performed. The subjects were divided into a low-risk group with low-to-moderate CVD risk in SCORE2 (70 pts) and a high risk group with high and very high CVD risk (78pts).
Pts from high risk group had significantly more frequently s arrythmia (23 vs 2%; p<0,001) and obesity (45 vs 10%; p<0.001), they more often use too much amounts of alcohol (8 versus 0%; p=0.02) compared to low risk group. High risk pts had also significantly higher BMI (29 vs 24 kg; p
