OBJECTIVE: Analyze the results concerning the @entity712 population of CARDIOTENS 99, a cross-sectional study of @entity101 associated with @entity65 carried out on 32,051 @entity1 seen in Cardiology and Primary Care consultations. METHODS: In the analysis we included prospectively demographic, clinical, blood pressure, and therapeutic data of all @entity1 seen on a single day by 1,159 physicians (21% cardiologists; 79% Primary Care physicians). RESULTS: 4% of the total sample of 32,051 @entity1 had @entity712 , representing 23% of the @entity1 with @entity299 . Median age was 70,8 6,7 years; 53% were @entity1 . @entity101 was the most frequent risk factor, appearing in 71% of the @entity1 with @entity712 . @entity101 was most frequent in Primary Care @entity1 (76% versus 63%; p < 0,01), while @entity741 was most frequent in cardiology @entity1 (38% versus 27%; p < 0,01). Cardiology @entity1 showed a trend for greater use of drugs in comparison with @entity1 seen in primary care consultations but without significant differences (3,39 versus 3,35; p > 0,05). Diuretics were the drugs with greater prescription (63%). 44% @entity1 with @entity712 were on an angiotensin-conversing enzyme inhibitor and 14% on beta-adrenergic blockers. Systolic blood pressure was well controlled in only 19% of @entity101 @entity1 with @entity712 , according to the international recommendations (< 130 mmHg). The proportion of @entity1 with blood pressure higher than 140 mmHg was superior among the @entity1 seen by cardiologists than between those seen by Primary Care physicians (57% versus 47%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: @entity712 is often associated with @entity101 . Control of blood pressure is inadequate in the majority of @entity1 with @entity712 . @entity741 is a more frequent cause of in the @entity1 seen by cardiologists than in those seen by Primary Care physicians, and @entity101 is the leading cause of @entity712 in these @entity1 . Prescription of drugs recommended for the treatment of @entity712 it is generally very scant.
