The objective was to determine the percentage of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) with good control of their cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) (LDL cholesterol, blood pressure and smoke cessation).Cross-sectional multicentre study. The location was Primary Care and other clinics that typically treat patients with peripheral arterial disease (Internal Medicine, Vascular Surgery, Cardiology, Endocrinology and Nephrology). The first 10 patients with peripheral arterial disease were systematically selected by 440 researchers from all regions.The study included 4087 patients. Blood pressure was controlled in 29.5% of the cases. The frequency of patients with optimal control was significantly better in primary care (p.01). There was an optimal control of LDL-C levels in 30.4% of patients. Factors associated with optimal control of LDL-C was, being diabetic, stage I of La Fontaine, and being seen by a doctor that was not the primary care physician. Control was worse in women and in smokers.Primary care physicians better manage patients with hypertension. Patients seen in by a specialist as opposed to primary care are more likely to achieve optimal control of CVRF. The situation is far from the ideal, only 6% achieved optimal control of all CVRF. |
