Objetive: To quantify the contribution of risk factors and treatments in the reduction of mortality due to coronary heart disease in Argentina between 1995 and 2010.
Results: We used the validated IMPACTCHD model integrating data on effectiveness, use of treatments and changes in the risk factors between 1995 and 2010 in people older than 25 years in Argentina. The difference between the coronary deaths observed and expected in 2010 was distributed between treatments and risk factors.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of dyslipidemias in Mexico city and its relation to other cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted to measure cardiovascular risk factors in Mexico City. All subjects were interviewed and anthropometric measures performed, as well as cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C) and triglycerides.
Objective: Common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), but not triglyceride levels, are markers of future cardiovascular events. The relationship between these three factors is, however, unclear.
Methods: We included six large observational studies that used the same harmonized, B-mode ultrasound protocol, the same software for IMT measurement by automatic edge detection on CCA in a plaque-free region, following the Mannheim consensus, and certification of all sonographers.
Background: Diabetes has demonstrated an epidemic behavior in Mexico, which is among the top countries with the highest number of patients with diabetes. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Mexico City and its relation with some cardiovascular risk factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.
