Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
to identify the relationship between different presentations of acute coronary
syndrome and cardiovascular risk factors among hospitalized individuals.
METHOD:
cross-sectional study performed in a teaching hospital in São Paulo, in the State
of São Paulo (SP). Socio-demographic, clinical and anthropometric data of 150
individuals hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome were collected through
interviews and review of clinical charts. Association between these data and the
presentation of the syndrome were investigated.
RESULTS:
there was a predominance of ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction.
There was significant association of systemic hypertension with unstable angina
and high values of low density lipoprotein with infarction, without influence from
socio-demographic characteristics.
CONCLUSION:
arterial hypertension and high levels of low-density lipoprotein were associated
with different presentations of coronary syndrome. The results can provide support
for health professionals for secondary prevention programs aimed at behavioural
changing.
