Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular
risk factors and abnormal electrocardiographic findings in a Guadalajara
population.
Materials and methods: An analytical cross-sectional study on a
population of one region in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Sociodemographic
variables, cardiovascular risk factors, blood pressure and
electrocardiographic diagnosis were analyzed.
Results: A total of 660 individuals were evaluated (mean age: 56.02
years; 69.1% women). The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 75.3%,
sedentary lifestyle was 53%, hypertension was 46.5%, diabetes mellitus
was 33.03% and dyslipidemias was 25.9%. As an important finding the
48.2% of the individuals had electrocardiographic abnormalities. The
most frequent abnormalities were cardiac hypertrophy (14.2 %); and the
complete and incomplete bundle branch blocks (11.5%).
Conclusion: Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors have a higher
prevalence than expected. A high prevalence of visible cardiopathies
has been registered by electrocardiogram, this diagnostic test represents
a basic tool for the care of the general population.
Keywords: Risk factors; Cardiovascular Diseases, Hypertension;
