During the year 2015 GICR-IACPR, a scientific society for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (CRP) in Italy, carried out several “Polls” based on its website, in order to know current attitudes of health operators involved in the management and care of cardiac patients. The Poll #1 focused on post revascularization residual myocardial ischemia, familial dyslipidemia, erectile dysfunction, sleep apnoea, and hyperuricaemia, all conditions being paradigmatic of well known situations of high cardiovascular risk and disability in the CRP setting. In the present report feasibility and results of the GICR Poll #1 are discussed.
