ABSTRACT
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is the main cause of coronary disease. Its presence in the vascular network is shown from very early age. It is ensured that it is present from intrauterine life and becomes larger and larger over the years, both due to the action of aging and the presence of other factors that accelerate and perpetuate it. Subclinical atherosclerosis is a term that should be used to express that there is a degree of evidence of arterial wall injury without clinical appearance.Objective: To identify the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis and its relationship with atherogenic risk factors.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in workers of “La Pradera” International Health Center from January to December 2019.
Results: Subclinical atherosclerosis was detected in 129 subjects (32.7%). It was associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and smoking.
Conclusions: Subclinical disease was present in health workers, apparently healthy and young, who had at least one risk factor for atherosclerotic disease.
