REGICOR began with the Girona Heart Registry (Registre GIroní del COR) in 1978 and now brings together more than 50 researchers from two Barcelona research groups, EGEC and CARIN, of the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM), from the Cardiology Services unit at Josep Trueta Hospital and the Primary Care Research Unit in Girona. The research focus is the population distribution of ischemic heart disease and associated risk factors, and improved prevention tools and strategies.
The equations to predict cardiovascular risk developed in Framingham [1] have been very useful decision-making tools in clinical practice to prevent and control cardiovascular risk factors.
In addition to determining the incidence, mortality, and morbidity associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), REGICOR has established the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the study area and the level of control that has been achieved.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the developed world.
The Mediterranean diet, our traditional food heritage, has healthy effects on morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular diseases that have been widely described and scientifically proven.
The estimation of myocardial infarction incidence, mortality and survival rates requires access to population registers with a standardized methodology and the following characteristics: First, the study population must be clearly defined and stable over time, making it possible to compare epidemiologic indicators.
12% of patients admitted for COVID-19 who also suffer heart damage need to be readmitted or die within the first year after recovering from the disease. In contrast, this occurs in only 1% of those who do not suffer heart damage during the SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical…

Por cada incremento en una unidad del sLRP1 el riesgo de presentar enfermedad cardiovascular aumenta un 40% Las enfermedades cardiovasculares continúan siendo la principal causa de muerte en España. Además, se estima que cada año unas 125.000 personas presentan un infarto agudo de miocardio. Por este motivo, los investigadores están trabajando para identificar algunos parámetros…
