ABSTRACT

Introduction: Coronary risk factors are biological characteristics that increase the likelihood of cardiovascular disease.
Objective: To characterize the presence of modifiable risk factors in patients referred for coronary angiography from Pinar del Rio to the CIMEQ Hospital, in the context of an acute coronary syndrome.
Method: Retrospective study of patients treated at the Laboratory of Hemodynamics of the CIMEQ Hospital, from October 1997 to August 2008. The study population consisted of 5 297 patients who underwent coronary angiography in the specified period, of which 147 emergency cases sent from Pinar del Rio province with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome, with or without ST segment elevation, were analyzed. The data were obtained from the ANGYCOR database.
Results: In the 126 patients with that syndrome and without ST elevation (85.7%), the most prevalent risk factor was hypertension (64%); and in those with ST elevation, it was smoking (61.9%). Patients between 50 and 70 years of age (66.7%), and males (75.5%), were the most affected.
Conclusions: In both groups, there was a predominance of males and the age group of 50-70 years. Nine out of ten patients had at least two of the classic risk factors; and smoking and hypertension were the most frequent ones.
