FAMILY HYPERCHOLESTEREMIA IN KRASNODAR REGION: ISSUES AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM
Abstract
Coronary surgery and endovascular coronary interventions allowed significantly reduce mortality and an invalidization caused by sharp and chronic forms of coronary heart disease in Krasnodar Region. Searching ways for further improvement of these indicators we start paying more attention to problems of timely identification of risk factors in cases with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACD) and their primary prevention, especially among the efficient labor pool.
From this point of view family hypercholesterolemia (SGHS) as a disease connected with a very high risk of ACD and frequently at young age, is one of the significant points of effort application for prevention of incidence and mortality from ACD. In recent years on the basis of the executed epidemiological and register researches there was a significant revision of ideas on possible prevalence of SGHS, as a result this disease is considered not to be so rare: ~ 1:200–1:250 in a general population. Low awareness among the population and physicians on SGHS in Russia and Krasnodar Region, its extremely low detection frequency, lack of information about real prevalence of this pathology lead to the fact that the correct diagnosis is very seldom verified, and modern treatment which is capable to change the course of a disease is carried out.
Modern approaches of diagnosis and treatment for SGHS are presented in this article, clinical cases from own clinical practice are described and also, we discuss possible steps on the organization of timely identification and treatment of SGHS.
