  • Title: [When should we start the treatment of the cardiovascular risk factors].
    Author: de Berrazueta Fernández JR.
    Journal: An R Acad Nac Med (Madr); 2008; 125(1):125-36; discussion 136-44. PubMed ID: 18777847.
    Abstract:
    The major Cardiovascular Risk Factors are well stablished from 50 years ago. But the limits to increase the risk at 5 or 10 years, have take a lot of time and research. They have been decreasing their limits for primary and secondary prevention. As there are many clinical trials about each of these factors, the agreement to establish their normal limits has been published and updated from time to time on the risk management guidelines currently supported by the different scientific societies. Nine modifiable factors accounted for over 90 percent of attributable risk of a first MI.
