RESUMEN

En frecuentes estadísticas citadas, las enfermedades cardiovasculares son el número 1 causa de muerte en todo el mundo y no sólo en los países desarrollados. Esto representa un esfuerzo por identificar y tratar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Los avances en la identificación y manejo de estos factores de riesgo cardiovascular se espera cambiar la tendencia actual, que para el año 2020 se predice será la misma. Ahora reconocemos que existen factores de riesgo mayor y otros que son predisponentes. La presencia de factores de riesgo mayor se asocian con el desarrollo de enfermedad cardiovascular. El manejo de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular debe ser multidisciplinario, involucrando al paciente, su médico, otros profesionales de la salud y a la familia. La meta es prevenir futuros eventos cardiovasculares.
