Cardiovascular risk profile in Portugal: evidence from a large
The rising prevalence of CVD in Portugal translates into more than 35 thousand annual deaths (1,2), with stroke and ischemic heart disease as the leading causes of death (3). Reducing the incidence of ASCVD is a public health priority, for which LDL-C lowering is paramount to halt atherosclerotic plaque progression (4,5).
The burden of atherosclerosis in Portugal
The authors of the present study have previously estimated the burden of other cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in Portugal, such as the burden of HF 26 and hypercholesterolaemia. 27 In comparison to findings from those studies, atherosclerosis is responsible for nearly four times more deaths and YLL than HF and nine times more deaths ...

Cardio-Oncology in Portugal: A Rising Tide
Approximately one-third of patients treated for oncological diseases will have cardiovascular complications. Cardio-oncology, the discipline that represents an interface between the 2 areas, is a rising tide in Portugal. Blessed with a pristine coast and a temperate climate, Portuguese navigators discovered the maritime routes to 3 continents.

Cardiovascular Risk Profile and Lipid Management in the Population
The rising prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in Portugal has translated into more than 35,000 annual deaths due to CV diseases. We performed a multicenter observational cohort study encompassing clinical activities performed between 2000 and 2019 to characterize the CV risk profile and LDL-C management of patients in every CV risk category using electronic health records of a ...
Explaining the Decline in Coronary Heart Disease Mortality in Portugal
The trends in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates differ widely across countries. 1 In Europe, there is a northeast to southwest gradient in age-standardized CHD mortality, 2 and Portugal has been a low-risk country for decades. 3 Although the CHD mortality rates have been declining since the 1980s, more steeply after the mid-1990s ...

Knowledge about cardiovascular disease in Portugal
Introduction. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death worldwide and is projected to remain among the most important contributors to mortality up to 2030. 1 Worldwide, approximately 17.3 million people died from CVD in 2013, representing nearly one-third of the overall number of deaths and 45% of those due to non-communicable diseases. 2 Among these, 8.1 million deaths were due ...
For the improvement of Heart Failure treatment in Portugal
A report by the Portuguese Directorate-General for Health (DGS), "Cerebral and Cardiovascular Disease in Numbers 2015", 8 cites a principal diagnosis of HF as the second leading source of hospital production, accounting in 2014 for 182 512 days of hospitalization (1.9 times more than MI) and 18 588 patients discharged after admission for ...
Trends of case-fatality rate by acute coronary syndrome in Portugal
Introduction. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe and the most common cause of death in Portugal. 1 It is estimated that by 2030, ischaemic heart disease will be the third leading cause of death worldwide. 2 Despite recent decreases in mortality rates in many countries, CVD is still responsible for almost half of all deaths in Europe, 3 constituting a major ...
Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology in Portuguese-Speaking Countries
Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of death worldwide. Although CVD are not the first cause of death in many low- and middle-income countries, they account for 80% of the deaths and 88% of the premature deaths in those countries. 1 The control of infectious, maternal and child diseases, the increase in life expectancy and the growing urbanization have contributed to ...

Changing patterns of cardiovascular diseases and cancer ...
In Portugal, the 20th century witnessed a dramatic decrease in the cardiovascular disease mortality and YLL, and the transition towards cancer. In more recent years, the highest burdens of disease came from cancers in men and from cardiovascular diseases in women. Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't. Aged, 80 and over.
Changing patterns of cardiovascular diseases and cancer mortality in
Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are jointly responsible for more than half all deaths in Portugal. They also share some important risk factors and act as mutual competing risks. We aimed firstly to describe time trends in death rates and years of life lost due to cardiovascular diseases and cancer in the Portuguese population from 1980 to 2010; and secondly to quantify the contribution of ...
