Abstract
- Among the conditions resulting from target organ damage by arterial hypertension, hypertensive cardiopathy is the one that exhibits the highest morbidity and mortality rates. Its prevention should be a target of all high blood pressure medical care programs.To identify risk factors for the development of hypertensive cardiopathy.A prospective cohort study was carried out in hypertensive patients assisted at the specialized arterial hypertension physicians offices of the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Specialty Policlinic attached to the General University Hospital, Bayamo Municipality, Granma Province, Cuba, from January 1st, 2000 to December 31st, 2009.Multivariate analysis done to estimate the hazard rate (HR) of developing hypertensive cardiopathy, showed significant independent statistic association for most factors. The first place was occupied by lack of blood pressure control (HR=2.022; 95% CI: 1.659-2.465; p0.005), followed by hypertension stage 2 (HR=2.015; 95% CI: 1.715-2.366; p0.005). Another factors with significant HRs were microalbuminuria (HR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.6-2.2) and age over 60 years (HR=1.6; 95% CI: 1.4-1.9).Several risk factors must be considered for the prevention of hypertensive heart disease in high blood pressure patients.La afección de órganos diana por hipertensión arterial que presenta mayor morbilidad y mortalidad es la cardiopatía hipertensiva. Su prevención debería ser objeto de los programas de atención a pacientes hipertensos.Identificar la influencia de los diferentes factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de la cardiopatía hipertensiva.Realizamos un estudio prospectivo de cohorte en pacientes hipertensos atendidos en la consulta especializada de hipertensión arterial de la policlínica de especialidades del Hospital General Universitario Carlos Manuel de Céspedes del municipio Bayamo, Cuba, desde el 1ro de enero de 2000 hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2009.El análisis multivariado mostró una relación estadística significativa independiente entre la mayoría de los factores y el riesgo de aparición de la cardiopatía. El lugar más relevante lo ocupó la falta de control adecuado de la presión arterial (HR: 2,022; IC 95%: 1,659-2,465; p0,005) seguido por el estadio 2 de la hipertensión arterial (HR: 2,015; IC 95%: 1,715-2,366; p0,005). Otros factores con HR significativos fueron la microalbuminuria (HR=1,9; IC 95%: 1,6-2,2) y la edad mayor de 60 años (HR=1,6; IC 95%: 1,4-1,9).Varios factores de riesgo deberán tenerse en cuenta para la prevención de cardiopatía hipertensiva en pacientes hipertensos.
