Residual cardiovascular risk, use of standard care treatments, and achievement of treatment goals in patients with cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Residual risk management in patients with previous cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a relevant issue. Objectives: 1) to assess the residual risk of patients with CVD using the new scores developed to predict recurrent CVD events (SMART score/SMART-REACH model); 2) to determine the use of therapies with cardiovascular benefit and the achievement of therapeutic goals in patients with very high residual risk.

Methods

A multicenter, descriptive, cross-sectional study was performed. Individuals over 18 years of age with CVD were included consecutively. The 10-year risk of recurrent events was estimated using the SMART score and the SMART-REACH model. A value ≥ 30% was considered "very high risk".

Results

In total, 296 patients (mean age 68.2 ± 9.4 years, 75.7% me
