Distribution of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acute myocardial infarction according to age

Authors

Keywords:

myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, cardiovascular risk factors

Abstract

Introduction: coronary diseases cause 20% of all deaths in Europe; One of its most serious presentations is acute myocardial infarction. The presence of certain modifiable risk factors or not, play a primary role in the initial diagnosis, behavior and prognosis of this disease. Thus, a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, and smoking have a direct influence on the incidence and future course of acute myocardial infarction.
Objective: to determine the distribution of the different personal histories, sex according to age groups, creatinine value and left ventricular ejection fraction.
Methods: observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study of all patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit of the “Manuel Fajardo” Clinical-Surgical University Hospital in Havana, between January 2016 and december 2020.
Results: the history of ischemic heart disease, arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus were significantly associated with patients older than 65 years (p<0.05) as well as the presence of complications.
Conclusions: in patients diagnosed with AMI, the incidence of female sex is higher among patients 65 years of age or older, as well as a history of ischemic heart disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. As shown in the studies analyzed and the result of this investigation, the presence of cardiovascular complications and decreased LVEF are associated with older age.
