O <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">WHF Cholesterol Roadmap</span> fornece enquadramento para o desenvolvimento de políticas nacionais, tendo como objetivo a prevenção de DACV. A convite da WHF, um grupo de peritos da Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia (SPC) avaliou a carga do colesterol a nível nacional e discutiu possíveis estratégias para um <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Roadmap</span> português.</p><p id="spar0035" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">A revisão da literatura mostrou uma carga elevada de colesterol em Portugal, sobretudo em pessoas de alto risco CV. Uma infografia, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Scorecard</span>, foi construída pela WHF, para mostrar claramente o risco CV e o peso do colesterol em Portugal, sendo útil para advocacia em políticas de saúde.</p><p id="spar0040" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">A discussão de peritos e proposta das estratégias preventivas seguiram os cinco pilares do documento da WHF: Melhoria da consciencialização; Abordagens do risco CV e do colesterol nas populações; Avaliação de risco/<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">screening</span> das populações; abordagens a nível do sistema; Seguimento do colesterol e complicações da DACV.</p><p id="spar0045" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Várias recomendações chave foram definidas: incluir todos os <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">stakeholders</span> em programa multidisciplinar nacional; criar plano de atividades estruturadas para aumentar a consciencialização da população; aumentar qualidade da educação contínua em saúde CV; aumentar interação entre profissionais de saúde e outros profissionais; aumentar referenciação de doentes para reabilitação cardiovascular; avaliar níveis de colesterol na população geral, especialmente em alto risco; promover autocuidado dos doentes, envolvendo associações de doentes; usar redes sociais específicas para disseminar informação; criar base nacional de níveis de colesterol com registo sistemático de eventos CV; redefinir estratégias baseadas na avaliação de resultados; criar e envolver mais doentes em associações – inverter a ordem da pirâmide!</p><p id="spar0050" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Em conclusão, a DACV e o peso de colesterol permanecem uma questão global forte em Portugal, necessitando o envolvimento de múltiplos <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">stakeholders</span> na prevenção.

Abordagens a nível das populações para melhorar a consciencialização e avaliar o risco CV, seguimento do colesterol e das complicações de DACV são fatores chave nesta mudança.
