ABSTRACT
Introduction:
cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of morbidity and mortality, despite improvements in clinical results and the introduction of new drugs.
Objective:
to evaluate the influence of risk factors in the development of cardiovascular diseases in adults aged 18 years or older.
Method:
a retrospective study of cases and controls was carried out in patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease who attend the internal medicine service of the General University Hospital "Carlos Manuel de Céspedes," Bayamo, Granma, from January 5, 2017 to December 31, 2018. Within the risk factors, age, gender, comorbidity and biological markers were taken into account.
Results:
among the qualitative variables, smoking was the most important factor (OR: 3.60; CI: 1.664-7.787; p: 0.001) while among the quantitative variables it was systolic hypertension (OR: 11.50; CI: 1457-90896, p: 0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that systolic hypertension was the most relevant independent risk factor (OR: 11.52; 95% CI: 3.077-43.168; p: 0.000) followed by having a history of diabetes mellitus (OR: 5.91 ;95% CI: 1674-20910).
Conclusions:
systolic hypertension stands out as the most important independent risk factor, followed by suffering from diabetes mellitus and being 60 years of age or older.
