Abstract

La hipertensión arterial es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares, principales causas de mortalidad en todo el mundo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia de hipertensión arterial y su asociación con otros factores de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes de primera consulta en el consultorio de la Primera Cátedra de Clínica Médica del Hospital de Clínicas, FCM, UNA en 2012. Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo, con componente analítico en el que se estudió a pacientes entre 18 y 90 años, seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple. En el periodo de estudio se registraron 4.046 historias clínicas en primera consulta, y 3.854 fueron consideradas para la aleatorización. Se estudiaron las variables demográficas, antropométricas, bioquímicas, presencia de hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, consumo de alcohol y tabaco. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de 457 pacientes con una edad media de 44,13±17 años; 48,23±18 años en hombres y 46,61±11 años en mujeres, 300 (66%) fueron mujeres. La frecuencia de la hipertensión arterial ± IC95% fue de 30,41±4,2%, sin diferencia significativa entre mujeres y hombres (32,33±4,3% versus 28±4,1%). La obesidad fue el factor de riesgo cardiovascular más frecuente. Alrededor del 60% de los pacientes presentaba uno o más factores de riesgo cardiovascular. La hipertensión arterial se asoció con la obesidad (OR: 4,427; IC95%: 2,345-4,876; p=0,032), la diabetes (OR: 2,141; IC 95%: 1,261-2,347; p=0,005) y niveles de c-HDL <35 mg/dl (OR: 1,761; IC 95%: 1,116-1,876; p= 0,001). Las altas frecuencias de hipertensión arterial y obesidad observadas en esta población coinciden con los datos reportados a nivel nacional y estuvo asociada significativamente a otros factores cardiovasculares.
