ACOSTA-MAYORQUIN, Arianna; CARDONA-NAVARRO, Norma Alejandra; AGUILERA-MORA, Luisa Fernanda e RAFFOUL-OROZCO, Abdel Kerim. Cardiovascular risk and electrocardiographic findings on Jalisco population. Horiz. sanitario [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.1, pp.69-74. Epub 16-Dez-2022. ISSN 2007-7459. https://doi.org/10.19136/hs.a22n1.5215.
Objective:
To determine the prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and abnormal electrocardiographic findings in a Guadalajara population.
Materials and methods:
An analytical cross-sectional study on a population of one region in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Sociodemographic variables, cardiovascular risk factors, blood pressure and electrocardiographic diagnosis were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 660 individuals were evaluated (mean age: 56.02 years; 69.1% women). The prevalence ofoverweight/obesity was 75.3%, sedentary lifestyle was 53%, hypertension was 46.5%, diabetes mellitus was 33.03% and dyslipidemias was 25.9%. As an important finding the 48.2% of the individuals had electrocardiographic abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities were cardiac hypertrophy (14.2 %); and the complete and incomplete bundle branch blocks (11.5%).
Conclusion:
Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors have a higher prevalence than expected. A high prevalence of visible cardiopathies has been registered by electrocardiogram, this diagnostic test represents a basic tool for the care of the general population.
