Aim To study the practice of drug treatment of ischemic heart disease (IHD) and the consistency of this practice with the established guidelines.Material and methods Results of the Russian part of the EUROASPIRE V study were compared with the general European population of the study. At ≥6 mos. and Results Upon discharge from the hospital, patients of the Russian cohort and of the entire study population were prescribed acetylsalicylic acid or other antiplatelet drugs (99.2% and 94.1%, respectively); beta-blockers (87.2 and 81.6%, respectively); angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (69.9% and 61.1%, respectively); sartans (16.5% and 14.2 %, respectively); calcium channel blockers (19.3 and 19.4 %, respectively); nitrates (8.0% and 22.5 %, respectively); diuretics (31.1 and 32.5 %, respectively); statins (98.0% and 85.0 %, respectively); and anticoagulants (6.6 and 8.3 %, respectively). For the long-term treatment, patients of the Russian cohort and of the entire study population took antiplatelets (94.7 % and 92.5 %, respectively); beta-blockers (83.2% and 81.0 %, respectively); ACE inhibitors (60.2% and 57.3 %, respectively); sartans (19.3% and 18.4 %, respectively); calcium antagonists (21.1% and 23.0 %, respectively); nitrates (9.0% and 18.2 %, respectively); diuretics (31.8% and 33.3 %, respectively); statins (88.2% and 80.8 %, respectively); and anticoagulants (8.8% and 8.2 %, respectively). High intensity hypolipidemic therapy was prescribed to 54.0 % of patients in Russian centers and 60.3 % of patients in the entire study. Both Russian and international patients evaluated their compliance with the prescribed medication as high.Conclusion According to results of the EUROASPIRE V study as compared to earlier studies, the practice of drug therapy in Russian patients with IHD has significantly approached European indexes. Further optimization is possible by a more extensive use of high intense hypolipidemic treatment and antidiabetic drugs with a documented positive effect on prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Aim . Analysis of psychosocial risk factors in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients among Russian centers of the EUROASPIRE IV study, comparing to overall study population. Material and methods . In the cross-sectional study, 24 European countries participated, including Russian Federation (3 centers). In the study, patients were included of the age 18-80 y.o., who, during the period ≥6 months to

Aim . To assess the secondary prevention in Russian patients with coronary artery disease in the long-term period after acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), percutaneous coronary intervention and/or coronary artery bypass grafting, obtained in the European Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention by Intervention to Reduce Events (EUROASPIRE V) survey in comparison with the general population of the study. Material and methods . EUROASPIRE V is a cross-sectional study with 27 countries, including Russia, which involved patients with ACS or indications for myocardial revascularization. At participating centers, patients admitted to hospital due to ACS or for percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting were identified. After 6 months and
