Abstract		In the West, cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of premature death in men, and a frequent cause of disability: Much of this illness is preventable or at least delayed until older age by preventive measures like healthy way of life; early detection and correct treatment of the disease, which represent risk factor for developing the cardiovascular disease (hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes). Pharmacists in pharmacies can make positive contribution in efforts to reduce cardiovascular disease and consequently morbidity and disability of the population. For this we need a standardized approach to the patient, which patient can recognize as one of the health care process. Standardized approach means providing defined processes that can be provided to each patient participating in pharmaceutical care program. Pharmaceutical care for pharmacies introduces much more than just a new service. It means new way of work and new philosophy of pharmacy profession. There are several reasons for pharmacists to expand our practices: the patient, the drug-use process is not perfect; drug morbidity and mortality and because it works.
Summary		Kardiovaskularna obolenja (KV4) so v razvitem svetu najpogostejši vzrok smrti in zelo pogost vzrok invalidnosti. Za večino teh obolenj velja, da jih lahko preprečimo ali vsaj odložimo v starejše obdobje z ustreznimi preventivnimi ukrepi, kot so zdrav način življenja, zgodnje odkrivanje in pravilno zdravljenje obolenj, ki sama predstavljajo pomembne dejavnike tveganja za nastanek KVO (hipertenzija, hiperlipidemija; diabetes). Farmacevti v lekarnah lahko z izvajanjem farmacevtske skrbi pozitivno vplivamo na zmanjšanje pojavnosti KVO ter s tem na umrljivost in invalidnost populacije. Za to potrebujemo standardiziran pristop do pacienta, ki ga pacient prepozna kot enega od postopkov zdravljenja. Standardiziran pristop pomeni izvajanje definiranih postopkov, ki jih izvajamo pri vsakem pacientu vključenem v program farmacevtske skrbi. Farmacevtska skrb predstavlja za lekarne mnogo več kot le novo storitev. Pomeni nov način dela in novo filozofijo lekarniškega poklica. Obstaja kar nekaj razlogov zakaj širiti lekarniško dejavnost: sami pacienti, nepopolni proces uporabe zdravil, obolevnost in umrljivost zaradi zdravil in ne nazadnje zato, ker deluje.
