ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Describir el perfil clinicoepidemiológico y el proceso de atención del síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST en un hospital de tercer nivel. Método: Se analiza la información clínica, la estratificación de riesgo, la terapia de revascularización y los hábitos de prescripción al egreso de los casos con síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST atendidos en un año. Resultados: Se incluyeron 283 pacientes con una edad media de 58 años; el 63%, masculino. La mayoría (88.6%) de los casos ocurrió entre los 50 y 59 años. La hipertensión arterial fue el factor de riesgo predominante. El 82.5% de los sujetos tuvo índice TIMI de riesgo bajo-intermedio. En el 37% de los pacientes hubo isquemia residual y en 80 (70%) se demostraron obstrucciones coronarias. Setenta y dos pacientes (90%) fueron revascularizados con stent, principalmente farmacológico (87.5%). Más del 90% de los casos recibió estatina y antiplaquetarios al egreso; otros medicamentos se indicaron en poco más del 50%. Conclusiones: En la población estudiada, el síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del ST predomina en hombres relativamente jóvenes e hipertensos. Estratificar el riesgo, buscar isquemia residual y revascularizar con stent farmacológico son prácticas comunes; el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia es subóptimo.


Objective: To describe the clinical-epidemiologic profile and the process of care of the non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes in a tertiary hospital. Method: We analyzed the clinical information, the risk stratification and diagnostic methods, the revascularization therapy and the prescription trends at discharge, of patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes cared for in one year. Results: Two hundred and eighty-three patients with mean age of 58 years were included (63% men). The largest number of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (88.6%) was found between 50 to 59 years of age. The most common risk factor was hypertension; 82.5% of the patients had a low-intermediate TIMI score; residual ischemia was demonstrated in 37% and coronary obstructions were seen in 80 patients (70%). In 90%, a percutaneous coronary intervention was performed, mainly with drug-eluting Stents (87.5%). At discharge, even though antiplatelet agents and statins were prescribed in more than 90%, other drugs were indicated in a few more than 50% of patients. Conclusions: In this population, non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes predominates in relatively young men, often with hypertension. To stratify risk, to look for residual ischemia and to revascularize with drug-eluting stents are common practices, but the evidence-based guidelines compliance is still suboptimal.
