Summary: | Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in our country. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from being achieved in real clinical practice. There is a great heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor control. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has prepared this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its realization and unification of criteria to incorporate the lipid control goals appropriate to the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) siguen siendo la principal causa de muerte en nuestro pais. El control adecuado de las alteraciones del metabolismo lipidico es un reto clave en prevencion cardiovascular que esta lejos de alcanzarse en la practica clinica real. Existe una gran heterogeneidad en los informes del metabolismo lipidico de los laboratorios clinicos españoles, lo que puede contribuir al mal control del mismo. Por ello, un grupo de trabajo de las principales sociedades cientificas implicadas en la atencion de los pacientes de riesgo vascular hemos elaborado este documento con una propuesta basica de consenso sobre la determinacion del perfil lipidico basico en prevencion cardiovascular, recomendaciones para su realizacion y unificacion de criterios para incorporar los objetivos de control lipidico adecuados al riesgo vascular de los pacientes en los informes de laboratorio. |
