Objective — to estimate the detection rate of hypertension and major risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a population-based screening program within the framework of a «Healthy Heart Day» move. Material and methods. The investigation analyzed the results of a survey of patients who had come to have a free screening in the framework of the «Healthy Heart Day» program at the Combined Hospital and Polyclinic, President Administration of the Russian Federation, on November 28, 2015. The program included a comprehensive screening aimed to identify risk factors in compliance with the international standards. The results of the screening were used to calculate an individual CVD risk by using the international risk assessment scale Heart SCORE. Based on all the results obtained, a cardiologist consulted the patients and recommended to modify risk factors if necessary. Results. On that day, a total of 102 patients received outpatient care according to the program. Screening revealed that they had 384 risk factors; cardiovascular diseases were first detected in 10 patients. The identification of main risk factors during this screening was as follows: smoking (28.4%) and elevations in blood pressures (24.7%), glucose (6.1%), and total cholesterol (85.3%). The group had the mean Heart score of 3.34 (the high-risk and very high-risk patients were 27.7%). Conclusion. Implementation of population-based screening program within «Healthy Heart Day» moves makes it possible to timely detect cardiovascular risk factors and to motivate patients to comply with non-dug and drug treatments and prevention.
