Los datos del registro REACH ayudan a comprender diferentes problemas que afectan a los pacientes con enfermedad arteriosclerótica. La carga arteriosclerótica valorada mediante la cuantificación de los territorios vasculares afectados es un factor de mal pronóstico que aumenta el riesgo de recurrencias, la morbilidad y la muerte al año. Con respecto a la enfermedad cerebrovascular, es importante destacar que los pacientes con ictus son los que presentan mayores tasas de reinfarto cerebral así como la mayor tasa combinada de muerte cardiovascular/infarto de miocardio o ictus no mortales. Hay que tener especial cuidado con los pacientes que han presentado un accidente isquémico transitorio, ya que acumulan una importante carga de factores de riesgo vascular. Los datos del registro REACH sugieren que los tratamientos preventivos y el control de los factores de riesgo vascular son mejorables, en especial el control de la hipertensión, la diabetes y la hipercolesterolemia, de manera que se deben intensificar las medidas de prevención en estos pacientes para conseguir un control correcto de los factores de riesgo potenciando los hábitos saludables, el uso adecuado de fármacos y la adherencia a éstos.

Data from the REACH registry help to understand distinct problems affecting patients with arteriosclerotic disease. The arteriosclerotic burden evaluated by quantifying the number of diseased vascular territories is a marker of poor prognosis that increases the risk of recurrences, morbidity and mortality and death at 1 year. In cerebrovascular disease, it is important to highlight that patients with stroke are those with the highest rates of cerebral reinfarction and also show the highest combined rate of cardiovascular death or non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke. Special care must be taken in patients who have had a transient ischemic attack since these patients accumulate a number of vascular risk factors. Data from the REACH registry suggest that preventive treatment and control of vascular risk factors could be improved, especially control of hypertension, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Consequently, preventive measures should be intensified in these patients to achieve adequate control of risk factors through encouraging healthy lifestyle habits, appropriate use of drugs and treatment adherence.
