Search for: [Abstract = "The aim of the study was to analyse the management of adult patients at risk of cardiovascular diseases \(CVD\) in primary healthcare in Poland. The study was divided into two stages. In the first stage of the study, we carried out an overview of existing systematic reviews. In the second stage of the study, we derived the data from a nationwide cross\-sectional study \- LIPIDOGRAM2015. The prevalence of CVD and CV risk factors among adult populations attending primary care in Poland is high, and these findings occur both in the city and in the countryside. There were no important differences in the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and CVD between those groups, while obesity was found to be slightly more common in rural areas. Patients with CVD, in particular, have difficulties in achieving LDL\-C target goals, while the rural male population with hypertension has less well\-controlled blood pressure. Therefore, there is a need to implement CVD prevention programs in Polish primary care aimed both at urban and rural areas residents, with greater attention paid to the rural population."]
