Los pacientes muestran preocupación ante la posibilidad de sufrir efectos adversos de los medicamentos mientras que las medidas higiénico-dietéticas son percibidas como seguras. Los pacientes muestran confianza hacia los profesionales sanitarios. En cuanto a los cambios de hábitos, se detectaron dificultades relacionadas con las dimensiones cultural, social y emocional. Conclusiones: La perspectiva de los pacientes entrevistados coincide con las recomendaciones biomédicas actuales sobre la prevención y tratamiento de las enfermedades cardiovasculares: se precisa de una terapéutica mixta para el manejo del riesgo cardiovascular.
