HERRERA GONZALEZ, Alfredo et al. Prognostic factors subclinical atherosclerosis in dyslipidemic patients. Rev cubana med [online]. 2020, vol.59, n.4 Epub 15-Nov-2020. ISSN 1561-302X.
Introduction:
Subclinical atherosclerosis is a predictor of future vascular events and is diagnosed by imaging and biomarkers without any clinical manifestations.
Objective:
To identify the prognostic factors that are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in dyslipidemic patients.
Method:
A cohort study was carried out at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital in 1028 patients in the period from 2016 to 2019.
Results:
The existence of atheroma plaque was 26.9%. There were significant differences related to smoking (30.0% vs 23.7%). In the lipid variables, the average of the LDLc values is higher in patients with atheroma plaque and the CT/LDL ratio is higher in those without this alteration. Regarding the frequency of thickening of the intima-media complex greater than 1.0 mm, it was 37.1%. There were significant differences related to smoking (30.4% vs 22.4%) and the presence of HTA (56.7% vs 48.8%) in the lipid variables, the average of the HDLc values is higher in the patients without an increase in the thickness of the intima-media complex and the CT/HDL elevation is greater in those with said alteration. Conclusions: The factors that independently influence the probability of atheroma plaque formation are LDLc (elevated), age, triglycerides and male sex, and those that influence the probability of thickening of the intima-media complex. They are HDLc (low), smoking, and high blood pressure
