Resumo: Background: Most important cause of death worldwide, the cardiovascular diseases and its prevalence amongst cardiologists are still not well known. Objectives: To describe the cardiovascular risk profile of Brazilian cardiologists, their knowledge about their diseases, and to compare with population data. Methods: A transversal national multicentric study that evaluated cardiologists in all Brazilian regions through a structured questionnaire about life habits, previous personal diseases, use of medications, besides anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and serum glucose and lipids dosage. Weight was obtained with digital scales OMRON HN-290T. For the purpose of comparing the prevalences with the population, VIGITEL and PNS data were used. Results: Most of the 555 cardiologists evaluated were male (67,93%), with a mean age of 47,211,7 years, non smokers (88,6%), physically active (77,1%), alcohol berevage consumers (78,2%), with normal abdominal circumference (51,7%) and were above normal weighr (56%). The prevalences of hypertension was 31,41%, diabetes 4,86% and dyslipidemia 51,71% and, of those, only 57,22%, 55,55% e 47,38% stated to have those diseases, respectively, at the questionnaire. Conclusion: Cardiologists consume more alcohol beverages, and present similarly weight excess in comparison with the general population. The prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia amongst Brazilian cardiologistas was higher than the Brazilian population and diabetes was lower among the first group. Moreover, the number of physicians who ignored their pathological situation was much higher than expected, as within the population studies presented. Hard endpoints, such as myocardial infarction and stroke, were less prevalent among cardiologists.
