Prevalencia de enfermedad coronaria multivaso en pacientes diagnosticados mediante arteriografía coronaria durante el periodo enero 2015 - enero 2020 en el Hospital Alcívar.

Abstract

Introduction: Multivessel coronary disease is a pathology characterized by significant stenosis or obstruction of more than 70% in two or more main coronary arteries that is diagnosed after performing coronary arteriography. Objective: To determine the prevalence of multivessel coronary disease in patients diagnosed by coronary arteriography during the period January 2015-January 2020 at Hospital Alcívar. Method: The present study is observational, retrospective, cross-sectional and analytical. The population included was: patients hospitalized at the Alcívar Clinic during the period from January 2015 to January 2020 with a report of multivessel coronary disease angiography. Results: The studied sample was 260 patients, of which 76 had an angiographic report of multivessel coronary disease, representing 29.23%. The average age of the diagnosed patients was 68.22 years. Regarding sex, 61 male patients and 15 female patients were reported. Of the risk factors studied: the one with the highest percentage was arterial hypertension, representing 84.2%. Conclusions: The established hypothesis was corroborated by observing an increase of more than 10% in the prevalence of multivessel coronary disease from January 2015 to January 2020. The incidence of multivessel coronary disease is directly proportional to age. Multivessel coronary disease is associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus, entities that can be preventable and managed with drug treatment and lifestyle changes.
