Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.Report the results of the first years (2017-2019) of the Mexican FH registry.There are 60 investigators, representing 28 federal states, participating in the registry. The variables included are in accordance with the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) FH recommendations.To date, 709 patients have been registered, only 336 patients with complete data fields are presented. The mean age is 50 (36-62) years and the average time since diagnosis is 4 (IQR: 2-16) years. Genetic testing is recorded in 26.9%. Tendon xanthomas are present in 43.2%. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is 11.3% and that of premature CAD is 9.8%. Index cases, male gender, hypertension and smoking were associated with premature CAD. The median lipoprotein (a) level is 30.5 (IQR 10.8-80.7) mg/dl. Statins and co-administration with ezetimibe were recorded in 88.1% and 35.7% respectively. A combined treatment target (50% reduction in LDL-C and an LDL-C100 mg/dl) was achieved by 13.7%. Associated factors were index case (OR 3.6, 95%CI 1.69-8.73, P = .002), combination therapy (OR 2.4, 95%CI 1.23-4.90, P = .011), type 2 diabetes (OR 2.8, 95%CI 1.03-7.59, P = .036) and age (OR 1.023, 95%CI 1.01-1.05, P = .033).The results confirm late diagnosis, a lower than expected prevalence and risk of ASCVD, a higher than expected prevalence of type 2 diabetes and undertreatment, with relatively few patients reaching goals. Recommendations include, the use of combination lipid lowering therapy, control of comorbid conditions and more frequent genetic testing in the future.

Se realiza una revisión sobre el riesgo de los pacientes que padecen diabetes mellitus en el contexto de morbimortalidad general y relacionada a infección por el coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS-CoV-2). Así mismo se repasan las recomendaciones generales, de alimentación y de la prevención de las comorbilidades que más frecuentemente padecen dichos enfermos. Finalmente se hace una revisión de las recomendaciones farmacológicas sobre el tratamiento tanto oral como parenteral en el paciente ambulatorio, en la hospitalización y en estados críticos infectados por el SARS-CoV-2.

The Mexican population with diabetes mellitus is at increased risk of severe disease and mortality from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) The factors that contribute to this are the potential increased risk of infections, the proinflammatory, procoagulant state, the inadequate immune regulation suffered by people with diabetes and the lack of glycemic control, particularly important in our population For this reason, the Sociedad Mexicana de Nutricion y Endocrinologia formed a group for recommendations facing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and issues these recommendations for the therapeutic management of type 2 diabetes with the current information, which may be expanded or corrected considering new evidence La poblacion mexicana con diabetes mellitus se encuentra en mayor riesgo de enfermedad grave y de mortalidad por coro-navirus 2 del sindrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS-CoV-2) Los factores que contribuyen a esto son el potencial mayor riesgo a infecciones, el estado proinflamatorio, procoagulante, la inadecuada regulacion inmunologica que sufren las personas con diabetes y el descontrol glucemico, particularmente importante en nuestra poblacion Por ello, la Sociedad Mexicana de Nutricion y Endocrinologia formo un Grupo para Recomendaciones ante la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) y emite estas recomendaciones para el manejo terapeutico de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 con la informacion actual, mismas que podran ampliarse o corregirse a la luz de nueva evidencia

A review is carried out to examine the risk of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus in the context of general morbidity and mortality and related to infection by SARS-CoV-2. Likewise, the general recommendations for food and the prevention of comorbidities that most these patients suffer most frequently are also studied. Finally, a review of the pharmacological recommendations on both oral and parenteral treatment in the outpatient, in hospitalization and in critical states infected with SARS-CoV-2 is made.Se realiza una revisión sobre el riesgo de los pacientes que padecen diabetes mellitus en el contexto de morbimortalidad general y relacionada a infección por el coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo grave (SARS-CoV-2).
