Abstract		Slovene too often get sick and die from the cardiovascular diseases. 33 % of men, and about 10 % of women between 54 and 64 years of age dies because of some cardiovascular disease. The reason of lower death rate in women is premenopausal role of estrogens. In postmenopausal ages the percentage is the same in both. Morbidity and mortality, because of cardiovascular diseases, in Europe and USA is showing a trend of lowering in last years, merely becau- se of succesfull preventive programmes. Certain factors increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some can be changed, while others are inherited. Direct or indirect determination of risk factors is in modern diagnostic procedurs an essential part and could significantly adds to diagnose the disease condition and contributes to better outcame.
Summary		Slovenci prepogosto obolevamo in umiramo zaradi bolezni srca in žilja. 33% moških med 54 in 64 letom starosti umre zaradi bolezni srca in žilja; v istem starostnem obdobju pa umre le 10% žensk. Razlog temu, manjšemu %, je zaščitna vloga estrogenov. V postmenopavzalnem obdobju se pogostnost obolevnosti in umrljivosti izenači. Obolevnost in umrljivost zaradi bolezni srca in žilja je v Evropi in v ZDA v zadnjih letih v upadanju, predvsem zaradi uspešnosti preventivnih programov. Kar nekaj dejavnikov povečuje tveganje za bolezni srca in žilja. Na nekatere lahko vplivamo, medtem ko na nekatere ne moremo. Neposredno ali posredno določanje dejavnikov tveganja ali njihovega učinka na organizem je v sodobni diagnostiki bolezni srca in žilja sestavni del diagnostike in lahko bistveno pripomore k postavitvi diagnoze in boljšemu izidu bolezni.
