title: [Control of major cardiovascular risk factors of ischemic heart disease in secondary prevention in Aragón: COCINA study].
abstract: Ischemic heart disease remains a leading cause of death in Spain. According to the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) and European national societies, secondary prevention for these patients consists of control of major cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and suitable lifestyle habits.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To determine the degree of control of CVRF in the Aragonese population in secondary prevention.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cross-sectional study of a sample of 705 patients of Aragon who had suffered a cardiac event, selected opportunistically in consultations of family physicians participating in the 3 provinces of Aragon. The study was conducted in the second half of 2012.
  
  
  METHODS
  To measure the degree of control of different FRVC and lifestyle habits in this population.
  
  
  METHODS
  Anthropometric, different cardiovascular risk factors, treatment and lifestyle.
  
  
  RESULTS
  58% of men and 52% of women met criteria for monitoring of measured variables. The best result was obtained with smoking cessation and the worst with BMI. Hypertension, Dyslipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus achieve poor control results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results show that the degree of control of CVRF is still low, especially in variables such as dyslipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus. Only 16.5% of control patients met criteria given the pharmacologically-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors.
