Asociación entre la escala de riesgo Framingham y el puntaje de calcio coronario

Introducción: Entre las diferentes herramientas clínicas para evaluar la presencia de enfermedad coronaria mediante puntajes, la más usada es la Escala de Riesgo cardiovascular de Framingham. Desde hace unos años, se creó el puntaje de calcio coronario el cual mide el riesgo cardiovascular según la presencia de placas ateromatosas vistas por tomografía computarizada. Se evaluó la asociación entre la escala de Framigham y el puntaje de calcio coronario en una población de sujetos sanos asintomáticos. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal para evaluar la asociación entre el puntaje de calcio coronario y la escala de Framingham en sujetos asintomáticos que se practicaron exámen médico preventivo en la Fundación Cardioinfantil- Instituto de Cardiología (FCI-IC) en el periodo comprendido entre 1 de Julio 2011 hasta el 31 de octubre de 2015. Resultados: Se evaluaron 262 pacientes en total. La prevalencia de riesgo cardiovascular fue bajo en un 77.86% de la población, medio en 18.70% y alto en 3.44%, según la escala de Framingham. El riesgo cardiovascular según el puntaje de Calcio coronario fue nulo 70.99%, bajo en 21.75%, medio en 4.19%, severo en 3.05%. Se encontró una asociación entre ambos puntajes para riesgo estadísticamente significativa (p0,00001) Discusión: El riesgo cardiovascular establecido por escala de Framingham se relaciona de forma significativa con la presencia de placas aterioscleróticas. El estudio demostró que en una muestra de sujetos asintomáticos, hay una alteración estructural coronaria temprana.

A utilização do escore de risco de Framingham para o manejo de pacientes portadores de hipertensão arterial e de Diabetes Mellitus: uma revisão integrativa para subsidiar um projeto de intervenção

A Hipertensão Arterial e o Diabetes Mellitus são atualmente considerados problemas de saúde pública, sendo que as doenças cardiovasculares representam hoje no Brasil a maior causa de mortes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde que objetivou descrever os trabalhos relacionados à utilização do Escore de Risco de Framingham publicados na literatura nacional nos anos de 2003 a 2013, em artigos científicos completos. A intenção deste trabalho é propor a utilização do Escore de Risco de Framingham para a abordagem, manejo e acompanhamento dos usuários de uma Estratégia de Saúde da Família. Foram utilizados os descritores: Hipertensão; Diabetes Mellitus e a palavra Framingham. Chegou-se aos seguintes resultados: todas as variáveis utilizadas pelo Escore de Framingham, sendo elas: sexo, idade, tabagismo, presença de diabetes, pressão arterial, colesterol total e HDL colesterol diminuído se mostraram associadas ao risco coronariano, ou seja, possuir estes fatores de risco aumentam as chances de infarto ou morte por doença coronariana nos próximos 10 anos. O Escore de Risco de Framingham tem utilidade na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares pela proposta de intervir nos fatores de risco modificáveis e propor mudanças no estilo de vida, além de ser forma eficiente de abordagem das doenças pela possibilidade de garantir adequada adesão medicamentosa e ao tratamento propriamente dito, além de possibilitar acompanhamento e avaliação dos pacientes. De acordo com os resultados encontrados, pode-se concluir que a Estratégia da Saúde da Família é um dos locais apropriados para o acompanhamento e para o tratamento de hipertensos e diabéticos dentro do enfoque de risco, com a finalidade de estabelecer metas terapêuticas para o manejo e abordagem destes pacientes, visando a diminuição dos índices de morbimortalidade.

Projeto de intervenção para estratificação de risco cardiovascular de hipertensos e diabéticos na ESF Esperança de Japonvar/MG, a partir do escore de Framingham

O estudo objetivou a realização de um projeto de intervenção para o levantamento estratificado do risco cardiovascular de usuários diabéticos e hipertensos adscritos na equipe de Estratégia de Saúde de Família Esperança em Japonvar, Minas Gerais. A necessidade do estudo foi baseada no número elevado de hipertensos e diabéticos adscritos na unidade de Saúde da Família Esperança. Esse estudo foi elaborado através do método de Planejamento Estratégico Situacional (PES), essa metodologia identifica e descreve os problemas e as prioridades encontrados na unidade básica de saúde e avalia também os recursos críticos e os seus controladores. A estratificação de risco cardiovascular permite classificar os usuários hipertensos e diabéticos de acordo com um risco especifico para a tomada de decisão terapêutica baseada nesse respectivo risco. Porém, algumas medidas terapêuticas não farmacológicas estão indicadas para todos os usuários diabéticos e hipertensos independente do grau de risco cardiovascular

Avaliação nutricional e risco cardiovascular em executivos submetidos a check-up

OBJETIVO: Avaliar estado nutricional e risco cardiovascular de executivos. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal. Foram avaliados 329 executivos de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 31 e 70 anos, submetidos a check-up de saúde em hospital privado do município de São Paulo. Foram mensuradas as variáveis referentes a peso, estatura e circunferência da cintura (CC) e determinado o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Foram analisados pressão arterial, níveis séricos de colesterol total e frações, triacilglicerol, glicose e ácido úrico. Prática habitual de atividade física foi avaliada por meio do Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e o risco cardiovascular pelo Escore de Framingham. A análise de variância e o método de Bonferroni foram utilizados para o tratamento estatístico. RESULTADOS: Média de idade foi 44,6 anos (DP=6,8), predominando o gênero masculino (89,7%). Quanto ao estilo de vida, 17% eram tabagistas e 7,3% sedentários. Os resultados médios encontrados para os exames clínicos e bioquímicos foram: pressão arterial 117,8 x 78,6 mmHg (DP=12 x 8,3), colesterol total 200,5 mg/dL (DP=35,9), LDL-c 121,8 mg/dL (DP=29,9), HDL-c 52,2 mg/dL (DP=10,9), triacilglicerol 133,7 mg/dL (DP=76,8), glicose 96,3 mg/dL (DP=20,5) e ácido úrico 6,0 e 4,2 mg/dL (DP=1,0 e 0,9) para homens e mulheres, respectivamente. O IMC médio foi de excesso de peso (26,1kg/m²; DP=6,8). A CC média estava normal entre as mulheres (79,6cm; DP=7,3) e indicou risco elevado para doenças crônicas entre os homens (96,1cm; DP=8,9). O Risco de Framingham médio foi de 5,7%. CONCLUSÃO: Os executivos estavam com excesso de peso e apresentaram baixo risco cardiovascular.

Metabolic syndrome and dietary components are associated with coronary artery disease risk score in free-living adults: a cross-sectional study

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the main causes of death in developed countries, and diet and lifestyle can influence CAD incidence. Objective: To evaluate the association of coronary artery disease risk score with dietary, anthropometric and biochemical components in adults clinically selected for a lifestyle modification program. Methods: 362 adults (96 men, 266 women, 53.9 +/- 9.4 years) fulfilled the inclusion criteria by presenting all the required data. The Framingham score was calculated and the IV Brazilian Guideline on Dyslipidemia and Prevention of Atherosclerosis was adopted for classification of the CAD risks. Anthropometric assessments included waist circumference (WC), body fat and calculated BMI (kg/m(2)) and muscle-mass index (MMI kg/m(2)). Dietary intake was estimated through 24 h dietary recall. Fasting blood was used for biochemical analysis. Metabolic Syndrome (MS) was diagnosed using NCEP-ATPIII (2001) criteria. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds of CAD risks according to the altered components of MS, dietary, anthropometric, and biochemical components. Results: For a sample with a BMI 28.5 +/- 5.0 kg/m(2) the association with lower risk (<10% CAD) were lower age (<60 years old), and plasma values of uric acid. The presence of MS within low, intermediary, and high CAD risk categories was 30.8%, 55.5%, and 69.8%, respectively. The independent risk factors associated with CAD risk score was MS and uric acid, and the protective factors were recommended intake of saturated fat and fiber and muscle mass index. Conclusion: Recommended intake of saturated fat and dietary fiber, together with proper muscle mass, are inversely associated with CAD risk score. On the other hand, the presence of MS and high plasma uric acid are associated with CAD risk score.

Estimating cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes: a national multicenter study in Brazil

According to Brazilian National Data Survey diabetes is the fifth cause for hospitalization and is one of the ten major causes of mortality in this country. Aims to stratify the estimated cardiovascular risk (eCVR) in a population of type 2 diabetics (T2DM) according to the Framingham prediction equations as well as to determine the association between eCVR with metabolic and clinical control of the disease. Methods From 2000 to 2001 a cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted in 13 public out-patients diabetes/endocrinology clinics from 8 Brazilian cities. The 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) was estimated by the prediction equations described by Wilson et al (Circulation 1998). LDL equations were preferably used; when patients missed LDL data we used total cholesterol equations instead. Results Data from 1382 patients (59.0% female) were analyzed. Median and inter-quartile range (IQ) of age and duration of diabetes were 57.4 (51-65) and 8.8 (3-13) years, respectively without differences according to the gender. Forty-two percent of these patients were overweight and 35.4% were obese (the prevalence of higher BMI and obesity in this T2DM group was significantly higher in women than in men; p < 0.001). The overall estimated eCVR in T2DM patients was 21.4 (13.5-31.3). The eCVR was high (> 20%) in 738 (53.4%), intermediate in 202 (14.6%) and low in 442 (32%) patients. Men [25.1(15.4-37.3)] showed a higher eCVR than women [18.8 (12.4-27.9) p < 0.001]. The most common risk factor was high LDL-cholesterol (80.8%), most frequently found in women than in men (p = 0.01). The median of risk factors present was three (2-4) without gender differences. Overall we observed that 60 (4.3%) of our patients had none, 154(11.1%) one, 310 (22.4%) two, 385 (27.9%) three, 300 (21.7%) four, 149 (10.5%) five and six, (2%) six risk factors. A higher eCVR was noted in overweight or obese patients (p = 0.01 for both groups). No association was found between eCVR with age or a specific type of diabetes treatment. A correlation was found between eCVR and duration of diabetes (p < 0.001), BMI (p < 0.001), creatinine (p < 0.001) and triglycerides levels (p < 0.001) but it was not found with HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and postprandial glucose. A higher eCVR was observed in patients with retinopathy (p < 0.001) and a tendency in patients with microalbuminuria (p = 0.06). Conclusion: our study showed that in this group of Brazilian T2DM the eCVR was correlated with the lipid profile and it was higher in patients with microvascular chronic complications. No correlation was found with glycemic control parameters. These data could explain the failure of intensive glycemic control programs aiming to reduce cardiovascular events observed in some studies.
