Le résumé fourni par la source

Objective: The cardiovascular risk (CV) assessment is a very complex process and requires a large set of data necessary for clinical decision (diabetes, obesity, clinical analysis, electrocardiogram, etc.). The web system, called Hydra, integrates a complete system and a set of functionalities for clinical decision making in order to improve the work of specialists in the analysis, diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment and monitoring throughout the time of cardiovascular patients. Design and method: Hydra integrates different utilities: 1_Introduction of all the information collected by the specialists (physical examination, toxic habits, blood pressure measurements, blood analysis, electrocardiogram, etc.), 2_ An application to automatically determine the CV risk stratification and, 3_Different tools designed for incorporate, analyze and graphically present the records of ambulatory BP monitoring (24 or 48 hours). In addition, the platform establishes a series of conclusions derived from all the information collected from the patient to support the specialists in their clinical decisions. Results: Hydra was tested and validated in a real domain (Hypertension Unit of the University Hospital Santiago de Compostela) where the platform was validated and used in different research projects to demonstrate its usefulness. The platform clearly established that it contributes to increasing the productivity of physicians, to obtain greater precision in the management of the patient, as well as to reduce the costs of the unit in its clinical routine. Conclusions: In this project we propose a complete platform that includes support services for cardiovascular clinical decision. This platform was born with the functions of a web application to facilitate its use by specialists who can access remotely from any terminal with Internet access. Hydra also includes different tools to facilitate the work of specialists and avoid possible bias in the analysis of patient data.
