RESUMEN
Alrededor del mundo existen más de 120 millones de mujeres que emplean algún tipo de anticonceptivo hormonal oral. Si bien la disminución en la dosis de los anticonceptivos orales combinados, particularmente en el contenido total de estrógenos, ha hecho que esta opción anticonceptiva, una de las más atractivas en la regulación de la fertilidad. Las usuarias, en su mayoría mujeres sanas con una baja incidencia general de enfermedades importantes, requieren de información veraz y actualizada acerca de los riesgos cardiovasculares que conllevan el empleo de estos métodos anticonceptivos.
En este trabajo de revisión, se examinan estudios epidemiológicos sobre la relación entre las enfermedades cardiovasculares y el empleo de anticonceptivos hormonales orales. Específicamente, se analiza los factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de infarto agudo del miocardio, accidentes cerebrovasculares, isquémicos y hemorrágicos, así como tromboembolismo venoso.
Se recomienda que antes de prescribir anticonceptivos hormonales orales a mujeres en edad reproductiva, se haga un análisis individual y profundo de los factores de riesgo asociados con su empleo.
