title: [Pharmacological prevention of cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: At present, cardiology makes use of a wide range of drugs belonging to various pharmacological classes for both preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases. Results of recent large clinical trials show the importance of carrying out preventive actions, but data of evidence based medicine suggest that only some of the methods of pharmacological prophylaxis have unequivocally demonstrated their ability to improve the forecast of life for patients with cardiovascular pathology. We have summarized data on the efficacy of some groups of drugs used in cardiology and assessed this information from the positions of proved validity of the prophylactic effect in particular groups of patients.
