Sažetak
Objective: To make comparison between the use of cardiovascular medications in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients at the time of discharge. Methods: From 1998 to 2003 patients treated for CHD at the Department of Internal Medicine Bjelovar General Hospital (BGH) were periodically included in multi-centre studies Treatment and Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Coronary Events in Croatia (TASPIC-CRO) I-V. Chi-squaxed test was used to compare the frequency of risk factors and drugs recommended on discharge in patients BGH included in 1998 (TASPIC-CRO I) and 2003 (TASPIC-CRO V), and regarding the whole national sample. Results: Out of 15.520 in Croatia, 340 patients (2.2%) were treated in BGH. They had no difference in the frequency of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes, but the rate of smoking (35% vs 19% ; p<0.001) and positive familiaxy anamnesis (34% vs 10% ; p<0.001) were lower. The use of aspirin (78% vs 83% ; p=0.012), V, -blockers (33% vs 53% ; p<0.001) and statins (36% vs 46% ; p<0.001) were lover, and the use of ACE-inhibitors (59% vs 52%) ; p=0.008) were higer than in national sample. Although the frequency of hypercholesterolemia in Croatia were decreased from 1998 to 2003 (83% to 65%), in patients treated in BGH this rate were increased (67% to 84%). Compared TASPIC-CRO V (11=63) and TASPIC-CRO I (n=71) in BGH, the use of aspirin (91% vs 73% ; p=0.01), V~-blockers (45% vs 17% ; p=<0.001) and statins (70% vs 14% ; p<0.001) were increased. Conclusions: Although considerable frequency of adjustable risk factors, the use of cardiovascular medications at the time of discharge from county hospital is still suboptimal.
