Resumen:
The Health Ministry Mendoza has 18 departmental Health Areas. Our objective was to study comparatively the consumption of mono-drugs (MD) of the cardiovascular system (C) in Health Areas of Godoy Cruz (GC), Guaymallén (G) and Luján de Cuyo (L) during the period 2006/2009. DDD/1000inhabitants/day (DID) were compared. MD were classified according to ATC (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification). The population of each department, the total number of MD of the vademecum for each area and the number of MD of C that are common in the Ministry and Remediar (amiodarone, atenolol, digoxin, enalapril, furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide), consumed  Escuchar Leer fonéticamente units (u) acquired with funding from the Area and sent by the Remediar Program, the number of total prescriptions and consultations and the indicator prescriptions/100 consultations (R/C) were considered. Consumption (2006/2009 in the three areas): the C represents an average of the 4 years:  GC 31, G 29 and L 24% of all drugs consumed. Average DID of C: GC 19.1, G 12.5, L 9.9.  Enalapril was the most consumed, with an average of DID: GC 14.2, G 9.8, L 7.21. The average total of consumed u of C sent by Remediar represents: GC 39.8, G 54, L 71.5%. Average R-C: GC 92.1, G 74.3, LC 29.2%. Consumption in the areas studied has a different behavior in all parameters studied, except that the enalapril was the most consumed. Further studies are needed to find the reasons for the differences found.
