[Prevention of coronary diseases in daily clinical practice].
Coronary heart disease mortality has declined in a number of European countries, included Belgium, but has remained unchanged or increased in others. In all these countries, coronary heart disease mortality remains the leading cause of mortality in men over 45 years and women over 65 years. The progress, when present, is related both with a better understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms, a better pharmacological and interventional approach and with a better application of prevention. Enthusiasms are nevertheless less important in application of prevention measures than in technical progresses. We present here the recommendations for prevention of coronary heart disease proposed by the European Society of Cardiology in clinical practice.
