ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Aproximar el riesgo cardiovascular de los pacientes adultos atendidos en la Clínica Médica Cayetano Heredia, de acuerdo al perfil lipídico y características demográficas. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo - retrospectivo, en base a los registros del laboratorio de la Clínica Médica Cayetano Heredia, durante el periodo comprendido entre el 2004 y el 2006. Se seleccionaron los datos del perfil lipídico completo (Colesterol total, Triglicéridos, HDL-C, LDL-C); los datos obtenidos fueron almacenados en una base de datos. La clasificación y análisis de los datos obtenidos tuvo como referencia principal el reporte Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). Resultados: Se encontró una población adulta total de 1300 pacientes: 279 en Adulto I (de 20 a 40 años) y 1021 en Adulto II (de 41 a 64 años). Los triglicéridos mayor o igual que 150 mg/dL en mujeres fueron 18.5 por ciento y 37.2 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente; y en varones 43 por ciento y 48.9 por ciento, respectivamente. HDLûC menor que 50 mg/dL en mujeres se encontró en 73.1 por ciento y 71.1 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente; HDL-C menor que 40 mg/dL en varones se encontró en 57.7 por ciento y 61.5 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente. La asociación HDL-C disminuido y triglicéridos mayor o igual que 150 mg/dL en mujeres se encontró en 16.2 por ciento y 31.3 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente; y en varones 28.9 por ciento y 32.9 por ciento, respectivamente. La triada de HDL-C disminuido, triglicéridos mayor o igual que 150 mg/dL y LDL-C mayor o igual que 130 mg/dL en mujeres se halló en 8.5 por ciento y 23.8 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente; y en varones en 19.5 por ciento y 21.5 por ciento, respectivamente. El no-HDL-C mayor que 130 mg/dL en mujeres fue 58.5 por ciento y 78.1 por ciento en Adulto I y II, respectivamente; y en varones 71.1 por ciento y 80.8 por ciento, respectivamente.
Objectives: To approximate the global cardiovascular risk of adult patients treated at the Cayetano Heredia Medical Clinic as related to their lipid profile and demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted. The clinical laboratory registry was searched for the first lipid profile results (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C and LDL-C) that were registered between April 2004 and January 2006. The data obtained were stored in a database. The classification and analysis of the data obtained were reported in terms of the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). Results: We identified 1300 adult patients; 279 of whom were adult I (20 to 40 years) and 1021 were adult II (from 41 to 64 years). Triglycerides more or equal than 150 mg/dL in females were found in 18.5 per cent and 37.2 per cent in adult I and II, respectively; in men they were found in 43 per cent and 48.9 per cent, respectively. HDL-C less than 50 mg/dL in females were found in 73.1 per cent and 71.1 per cent in adults I and II, respectively; HDL-C less than 40 mg/dL in men were found in 57.7 per cent and 61.5 per cent in adults I and II, respectively. The association of low HDL-C and triglycerides more or equal than 150 mg/dL in women was found in 16.2 per cent and 31.3 per cent in adults I and II, respectively; in men it was found in 28.9 per cent and 32.9 per cent in adults I and II, respectively. The association of low HDL-C, triglycerides more or equal than 150 mg/dL and LDL-C more or equal than 130 mg/dL, in women was found in 8.5 per cent and 23.8 per cent in adults I and II, respectively; and in men was found in 19.5 per cent and 21.5 per cent, respectively. The non-HDL-C less than 130 mg/dL in women was in 58.4 per cent and 78.1 per cent in adults I and II, respectively; and in men it was found in 71.1 per cent and 80.7 per cent, respectively.
