Abstract

The determination of risk factors a low to prevent or to delay the apparition of certain diseases. Our study put out in Cardiology A of Hôpital du Point G. gold to determine the main risk factors of ischemic heart diseases between 162 patients. It appears that all classical risk factors (HBP, Diabetes, obesity, tobacco use, sedentary, menopause, contraceptives, dyslipidemia) were found among patients. It appears particularly that avoidable risk factors such tobacco use among young men, sedentary and obesity play important role in the beginning. So it is possible to deploy an efficient prevention politic.
