Brief Summary

The present observational study aims to determine the degree of adherence to the recommendations of clinical guidelines regarding the prevention of cardiovascular complications in patients hospitalized due to a cardiovascular event.

Conditions

Atherosclerosis; Stroke, Ischemic; Acute Coronary Syndrome; Ischemic Heart Disease; Peripheral Arterial Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• patients admitted for a cardiovascular event who are prescribed lipid-lowering treatment at discharge

  Proportion of patients admitted for a cardiovascular event, warranting the initiation of secondary prevention with lipid-lowering agents, who are prescribed lipid-lowering treatment at discharge, adequate to reduce LDL by 50% or to below 55 mg/dL

  Up to 3 months

Study Arms (1)

Patients hospitalized due to a cardiovascular event

Patients hospitalized due to a cardiovascular event including stroke, acute coronary syndrome, ischemic heart disease, or peripheral arterial disease

Other: cardiovascular event

Interventions
