ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, de serie de casos, de 42 pacientes con afecciones cardiovasculares isquémicas y enfermedad arterial periférica asintomática ingresados en el Servicio de Cardiología Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico Saturnino Lora Torres de Santiago de Cuba, desde enero hasta diciembre de 2012, con vistas a determinar la frecuencia de dicha enfermedad mediante la estimación del índice tobillo-brazo. En la serie prevaleció el valor bajo de dicho índice (64,0 por ciento), seguido del normal (29,0 por ciento). Cabe destacar que solo 7,0 por ciento presentó calcificación arterial por encima de 1,3; datos reveladores del predominio de la enfermedad arterial periférica asintomática o subclínica


A serial cases descriptive study of 42 patients with ischemic cardiovascular disorders and asymptomatic peripheral vascular disease was carried out. They were admitted to the Cardiology Service of Saturnino Lora Torres Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba from January to December, 2012, aimed at determining the frequency of this disease by means of the ankle-arm index estimation. In the series the low value of this index prevailed (64.0 percent), followed by the normal index (29.0 percent). It is necessary to highlight that only 7.0 percent presented arterial calcification over 1.3; data revealing the prevalence of the asymptomatic or subclinic peripheral vascular disease
