RESUMEN

Introducción:

La aterosclerosis es una enfermedad que está entre las tres primeras causas básicas de muerte a nivel mundial. En la actualidad se relaciona con múltiples factores de riesgo, entre ellos el tabaquismo, que a su vez es un factor contribuyente al desarrollo de la cardiopatía isquémica.

Objetivo:

Caracterizar patomorfológicamente la lesión aterosclérótica de aorta y coronarias y su relación con el tabaquismo en fallecidos necropsiados.

Métodos:

Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal; se estudiaron 431 fallecidos con autopsias clínicas, de ellos se analizaron cualitativa y cuantitativamente sus arterias coronarias y aorta mediante el sistema aterométrico.

Resultados:

Se presentaron mayores valores de lesiones ateroscleróticas en el grupo de fumadores con infarto de miocardio, por tanto los índices de obstrucción (Ω) y estenosis (P) tuvieron también valores más elevados. Tuvieron una superficie endarterial más afectada por placas fibrosas y graves, la arteria descendente anterior y la aorta abdominal.

Conclusiones:

El tabaquismo tuvo una asociación directa con el proceso aterosclerótico, se expresa por mayores valores de las lesiones en los fumadores identificados, tanto en el sector aórtico como en el coronario, además se identificó mayor susceptibilidad de la descendente y de aorta abdominal al daño aterosclerótico(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Atherosclerosis is a disease that is among the top three basic causes of death worldwide. It is currently associated with multiple risk factors, including smoking, which in turn is a contributing factor to the development of ischemic heart disease.

Objective:

To characterize pathomorphologically the atherosclerotic lesion of the aorta and coronary arteries and its relationship with smoking in autopsied deceased.

Methods:

An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out; 431 deceased patients with clinical autopsies were studied, of which their coronary arteries and aorta were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed using the atherometric system.

Results:

There were higher values ​​of atherosclerotic lesions in the group of smokers with myocardial infarction, therefore the obstruction (Ω) and stenosis (P) indices also had higher values. They had an endarterial surface more affected by fibrous and severe plaques, the anterior descending artery and the abdominal aorta.

Conclusions:

Smoking has a direct association with the atherosclerotic process, it is expressed by higher values ​​of the lesions in identified smokers, both in the aortic and coronary sectors, in addition, greater susceptibility of the descending and abdominal aorta to damage is identified atherosclerotic(AU)
