Summary

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and their prevention is one of the cornerstones of today’s preventive medicine. Preventive strategy is based on healthy lifestyle changes and, if required, medication addressing the particular risk factors. Individual cardiovascular risk assessment in each patient must form an integral part of the therapeutic considerations, as it will point towards suitable therapeutic measures aimed at achieving a specific therapeutic target.

Key words:
cardiovascular diseases – risk factors – SCORE – LDL-cholesterol
