Undiagnosed hypertension in Peru: analysis of associated factors and socioeconomic inequalities, 2019.

Objective: To determine the factors associated and measure the socioeconomic inequalities in people with undiagnosed hypertension in Peru.

Materials And Methods: An observational, cross-sectional, analytical study was performed using data from the 2019 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES, acronym in Spanish) database. The dependent variable was the presence of undiagnosed hypertension (mean systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or mean diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg in the two blood pressure measurements and with no prior diagnosis of hypertension by a health care professional).

Registry of "early latecomer" patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction at the Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular INCOR - Peru.

Objective: To assess the features of asymptomatic patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who presents to the emergency with more than 12h of evolution, and if there is a benefit of an invasive versus medical therapy.

Methods: Retrospective, cohort study from January 2012 to December 2014, we compare the outcomes at 6 and 12 months of follow up of the invasive group versus the conservative group.

Results: There were no differences in outcomes at 12 months between an invasive versus a conventional strategy; but, looking at the reperfusion state, we found more risk of death and heart failure at 12 months in the no-reperfused group versus the reperfused group (40% versus 0%, OR: 2, CI: 1.
