For each subject a standardized questionnaire has been filled. The objectives of the study were clearly explained to patients while respecting confidentiality and anonymity. The parameters studied were age, sex, type of cardiovascular disease and duration of disease.It was included in our study 16002 persons, 55% were male, sex-ratio 1,21 (Chi-square test equal to 87,3, p≥0,0001). The mean age was 70 ± 16 years. The most affected age groups were ≥ 65 years (Chi-square test equal to 57,6 and p≥0.0001)which represented 78% of all groups.The most common cardiovascular diseases in our population were Arterial hypertension (67.4%) followed by Cardiomyopathy (23.2%),Valvulopathy (3,6%), Ischemic heart disease (2,2%), Heart failure (2,2%) and Arterial disease (1%).Annual prevalence of these diseases was 1455 case and duration was 8±2,74 years. Cardiovascular diseases affected more men than women with Chi-square Pearson test equal to 503,08, p≥0,0001 but Arterial hypertension was higher among women than men.Awareness, education, lifestyle and patient care remain the best way to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
