Risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in the work of nursing staff

Abstract

Based on long-term prospective monitoring of almost healthy people and significant epidemiological analyses around the world, a scientific concept of risk factors for coronary heart disease was created. This concept determines the development of coronary heart disease and in practice has become the basis on which today’s provisions for the prevention of this pathology are based. At the moment, more than 200 possible risk factors have been identified that have an effect on the progression of coronary heart disease. Despite all this about 50–60, there is in fact a connection with the formation of pathology. For the activity of a doctor, a significantly smaller number of risk factors are important [1, 2].
