Abstract		The prevalence and morbidity from cardiovascular diseases in Slovenia have been estimated mainly indirectly, by analising data from routine health statistic databases, managed by the Institute of Public Health of the Republic of Slovenia (IVZ). The cardiovascular diseases in Slovenia present 39% of all causes of death and 12-13 % of all hospitalizations from diseases. The premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases, which is an important indicator of population health status and enables the comparison with other countries, is similarly as in most developed countries of European Community slowly decreasing, but Slovenia delays and is worse than the EU average. The risk factors, mainly higher blood pressure, higher total serum cholesterol and smoking are still too much widespread. It may be anticipated that with a successful management and control of chronic diseases and among them mainly cardiovascular diseases life expectancy will be longer, mortality from cardiovascular diseases and mainly from ishaemic heart diseases will raise in older age groups and diminish in younger age groups.
Summary		Razširjenost bolezni obtočil v Sloveniji ocenjujemo večinoma posredno z analizami zdravstveno statističnih podatkov iz rednih zbirk, ki jih upravlja Inštitut za varovanje zdravja RS (IVZ). Bolezni obtočil v Sloveniji predstavljajo 39% vseh vzrokov smrti in 12-13 % vseh hospitalizacij zaradi bolezni. Prezgodnja umrljivost zaradi njih, ki je pomemben kazalnik zdravstvenega stanja prebivalstva in omogoča primerjanje z drugimi deželami, se podobno kot v najbolj razvitih deželah Evropske skupnosti (ES) počasi znižuje, vendar Slovenija zaostaja za povprečjem ES. Dejavniki tveganja; zlasti višji krvni tlak, višji serumski celotni holesterol in kajenje, so še vedno preveč razširjeni. Pričakujemo lahko, da se bo z uspešnim obvladovanjem kroničnih bolezni in med njimi predvsem bolezni obtočil življenjska doba daljšala, umrljivost zaradi bolezni obtočil in zlasti zaradi ishemičnih bolezni srca pa večala v starejših starostnih skupinah na račun zmanjševanja v mlajših.
