Correlación entre las dislipidemias y pacientes que presentan vértigo atendidos en el Hospital General Guasmo Sur, con rango de edad de 18 a 60 años durante el año 2018.

Abstract

Vertigo is the symptom that very often drives a medical consultation; it is established that it affects 20 to 30% of the population, modifying their daily activities and disabling them psychically and physically. Dyslipidemia, a global health problem, increases oxidative stress, which helps sensorineural loss due to hypercholesterolemia, hyperfibrinogenemia and hypertriglyceridemia, which decrease blood flow due to increased viscosity in the vestibulo-cochlear area. The objective of the study was to determine the correlation between dyslipidemias and patients with vertigo treated at the Guasmo Sur General Hospital. The type of research used was case control, non-experimental, observational, analytical, retrospective and cross-sectional. The results obtained within the sociodemographic data are observed in patients with dyslipidemia and without dyslipidemia affected with vertigo. They are between 51 and 60 years old, the most affected female sex, with a normal BMI, with a cholesterol titration between 200 to 239 and of triglycerides from 150 to 199, the insidious presentation being accompanied by vegetative symptoms; cholesterol in 23% and triglycerides in 26% are related as a risk factor with the presentation of insidious vertigo. In conclusion, if there is a relationship between vertigo in its insidious presentation with respect to dyslipidemias as a risk factor, but not for its abrupt presentation.
