CASTILLO AROCHA, Ivette et al. Cardiovascular risk according the OMS tables, the Framingham study and the B apolipoprotein/A1 apolipoprotein reason. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2010, vol.29, n.4, pp. 479-488. ISSN 1561-3011.

A review of current bibliography was carried out related to the subject of lipoproteins and the cardiovascular risk factors. To offer a approximation to the understanding of the risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases. The cardiovascular risk profile has been estimated, mainly by WHO, the Framingham study and through ApoB/Apo1 reason. The WHO has designed a guideline that includes the risk factor to predict a cardiovascular event in the following ten years to ill person assessment. The Farmingham study allowed identifying the greater risk factors (smoking, arterial high blood pressure, high levels of total cholesterol, low levels of HDL cholesterol, increase of low density lipoprotein (LDL), diabetes mellitus and old age) and no greater risk factors (obesity, sedentary state, family backgrounds of a premature coronary disease, hypertriglyceridemia and increase of A lipoprotein). The ApoB/ApoA1 reason is a predictive marker of mortal events from cardiovascular disease. We conclude that the risk factors not included in the tables of the WHO and the Framingham study may to modify increasing it, the cardiovascular disease risk rate.
