Perfil de risco cardiovascular em pacientes com diferentes graus de obesidade atendidos no Hospital Universitário de Sergipe

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Calculating CVR and comparing Framingham score (FS) and the new CVR calculator of AHA/ACC (American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology) in obese patients. METHODS: Observational, cross-sectional retrospective study, conducted between the months of April 2014 and June 2015. This study was approved by the ethics committee of the related hospital. RESULTS: We evaluated 105 patients, including 88,6% of women and 11,4% of men. According to FS, almost 3% of patients had high CVR and 88,6% had low CVR. Of total patients, twenty percent had CVR ≥7,5% and 40% of patients had CVR< 7,5%, according AHA/ACC (p=0,00). The high CVR patients according to FS had diagnosis time average of 15,33 years (±12,85) and the low CVR patients had this average of 16,64 years (±12,05) (p=0,78); in conformity with AHA/ACC calculator, patients (older than 40 years) who had CVR ≥7,5% presented diagnosis time average of 20,56 years (±12,3), while the ones who had CVR<7,5% had this average of 18,64 years (±13,17) (p=0,04). In relation to Abdominal Circumference (AC), patients who had high CVR by FS presented an AC average of 142 cm (±30,26) and the low CVR ones had this average equal to 128,46 cm (±14,92) (p=0,25). Patients whit CVR ≥7,5% y AHA/ACC calculator had AC average of 133,52 cm (±20,84), and who had this CVR <7,5% presented AC average of 125,21 cm (±13,56) (p=0,06).
