Abstract

Aim: It is known that cardiovascular diseases are about to be the major factor of mortality and morbidity globally. Aims of the study are to research the cardiovascular risks, evaluate 10 years of cardiovascular risks and provide treatment of the patients who are remained at polyclinic for any reason. Material and method: The study has been done in 2009 between February and April at Suleyman Demirel University, Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic. Framingham risc scale was applied to the volunteers for calculating 10 years cardiovasculer risc. Data were analyzed statistically with SPSS 11.0 programme and were given as ratios. Cardiovasculer risk factors; gender, age, alcohol, hypertension, diabet and hyperlipidemia were analyzed with ki-square test for statistical meaning. Findings: There were 72 volunteers included in the research consisting of 28 males (38,9%) and 44 females (61,1%). Mean age for the study group was 35.2 ±9.2 age (14-76). Mean cardiovasculer risk for ten years was found to be 3.54% (0-22) for Outpatient Clinic patients. Number of the patients who have low risk was 65 (90,3%), medium risk was 5 (6,9%) and high risk was 2 (2,8%). Conclusion: As in the Framingham study; cigarette, hypertension and hyperlypidemia were within the most important risk factors for cardiovasculer diseases. This study suggests that the cardiovascular risk may be easily calculated at outpatient clinic level.
