Abstract (EN): Introduction: Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Our aim was to assess and stratify the CV risk of two cohorts of hypertensive patients in Portugal attended in primary care (PC) or in outpatient hospital care (HC) using the global CV risk stratification model I of the 2007 ESH/ESC guidelines. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of hypertensive patients (aged 18-75 years) enrolled in other population studies and attended in PC (n=2299, 66 +/- 11 years, 64% women) or in HC (n=2028, 51 +/- 14 years, 54.7% women). Global risk stratification was performed according to the 2007 ESH/ESC guidelines. Results: In patients attended in PC (67% treated with antihypertensive drugs, 31% with BP <140/90 mmHg, 22% with dyslipidemia and 16% with diabetes), added global CV risk was average or low in 26%, moderate in 31%, high in 27% and very high in 16%; in patients attended in HC (77% treated with antihypeitensive drugs, 16% with BP <140/90 mmHg, 47% with dyslipidemia and 26% with diabetes), added global CV risk was average or low in 16%, moderate in 30%, high in 28% and very high in 26%. Conclusions: The majority of hypertensive patients attended in PC or HC have a high or very high global CV risk according to the 2007 ESH/ECS guidelines. Thus, global CV risk stratification should be undertaken in all hypertensive patients, as well as the implementation and reinforcement of strategies aimed at adequate control of hypertension and of all other modifiable CV risk factors.
