          Abstract

          La publicación en Estados Unidos de la guía de 2013 de American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association para el tratamiento del colesterol elevado ha tenido gran impacto por el cambio de paradigma que supone. El Comité Español Interdisciplinario de Prevención Cardiovascular y la Sociedad Española de Cardiología han revisado esa guía, en comparación con la vigente guía europea de prevención cardiovascular y de dislipemias. El aspecto más destacable de la guía estadounidense es el abandono de los objetivos de colesterol unido a lipoproteínas de baja densidad, de modo que proponen el tratamiento con estatinas en cuatro grupos de riesgo aumentado. En pacientes con enfermedad cardiovascular establecida, ambas guías conducen a una estrategia terapéutica similar (estatinas potentes, dosis altas). Sin embargo, en prevención primaria, la aplicación de la guía estadounidense supondría tratar con estatinas a un número de personas excesivo, particularmente de edades avanzadas. Abandonar la estrategia según objetivos de colesterol, fuertemente arraigada en la comunidad científica, podría tener un impacto negativo en la práctica clínica y crear cierta confusión e inseguridad entre los profesionales y quizá menos seguimiento y adherencia de los pacientes. Por todo ello, el presente documento reafirma las recomendaciones de la guía europea. Ambas guías tienen aspectos positivos pero, en general y mientras no se resuelvan las dudas planteadas, la guía europea, además de utilizar tablas basadas en la población autóctona, ofrece mensajes más apropiados para el entorno español y previene del posible riesgo de sobretratamiento con estatinas en prevención primaria.

          Translated abstract

          The publication of the 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines on the treatment of high blood cholesterol has had a strong impact due to the paradigm shift in its recommendations. The Spanish Interdisciplinary Committee for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and the Spanish Society of Cardiology reviewed this guideline and compared it with current European guidelines on cardiovascular prevention and dyslipidemia management. The most striking aspect of the American guideline is the elimination of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol treat-to-target strategy and the adoption of a risk reduction strategy in 4 major statin benefit groups. In patients with established cardiovascular disease, both guidelines recommend a similar therapeutic strategy (high-dose potent statins). However, in primary prevention, the application of the American guidelines would substantially increase the number of persons, particularly older people, receiving statin therapy. The elimination of the cholesterol treat-to-target strategy, so strongly rooted in the scientific community, could have a negative impact on clinical practice, create a certain amount of confusion and uncertainty among professionals, and decrease follow-up and patient adherence. Thus, this article reaffirms the recommendations of the European guidelines. Although both guidelines have positive aspects, doubt remains regarding the concerns outlined above. In addition to using risk charts based on the native population, the messages of the European guideline are more appropriate to the Spanish setting and avoid the possible risk of overtreatment with statins in primary prevention.

              EUROASPIRE III: a survey on the lifestyle, risk factors and use of cardioprotective drug therapies in coronary patients from 22 European countries.

              The aim of the European Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention by Intervention to Reduce Events III (EUROASPIRE III) survey was to determine whether the Joint European Societies' guidelines on cardiovascular prevention are being followed in everyday clinical practice and to describe the lifestyle, risk factor and therapeutic management in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) in Europe. The EUROASPIRE III survey was carried out in 2006-2007 in 76 centres from selected geographical areas in 22 countries in Europe. Consecutive patients, with a clinical diagnosis of CHD, were identified retrospectively and then followed up, interviewed and examined at least 6 months after their coronary event. Thirteen thousand nine hundred and thirty-five medical records (27% women) were reviewed and 8966 patients were interviewed. At interview, 17% of patients smoked cigarettes, 35% were obese and 53% centrally obese, 56% had a blood pressure >or=140/90 mmHg (>or=130/80 in people with diabetes mellitus), 51% had a serum total cholesterol >or=4.5 mmol/l and 25% reported a history of diabetes of whom 10% had a fasting plasma glucose less than 6.1 mmol/l and 35% a glycated haemoglobin A1c less than 6.5%. The use of cardioprotective medication was: antiplatelets 91%; beta-blockers 80%; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blockers 71%; calcium channel blockers 25% and statins 78%. The EUROASPIRE III survey shows that large proportions of coronary patients do not achieve the lifestyle, risk factor and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease prevention. Wide variations in risk factor prevalences and the use of cardioprotective drug therapies exist between countries. There is still considerable potential throughout Europe to raise standards of preventive care in order to reduce the risk of recurrent disease and death in patients with CHD.
