title: [Risk factors and coronary heart disease prevention in selected Lódź population--part II].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluation of the knowledge on CHD risk factors in selected Lódź population was made.
  
  
  METHODS
  Realization of primary and secondary CHD prevention principles was assessed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Over 20% of patients with CHD and over 38% of subjects without CHD did not realize the prevention principles. Hypolipemic therapy was effective only in 44.21% of patients with CHD and 35.9% of subjects without CHD. Antihypertensive therapy was successful in about 55% of patients with CHD and 35% of subjects without CHD.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results of our study have shown low effectiveness of both CHD prevention principles realization and hipolipemic and antihypertensive therapy in selected Lódź population.
