Sociodemographic<br />variables, cardiovascular risk factors, blood pressure and<br />electrocardiographic diagnosis were analyzed.<br />Results: A total of 660 individuals were evaluated (mean age: 56.02<br />years; 69.1% women). The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 75.3%,<br />sedentary lifestyle was 53%, hypertension was 46.5%, diabetes mellitus<br />was 33.03% and dyslipidemias was 25.9%. As an important finding the<br />48.2% of the individuals had electrocardiographic abnormalities. The<br />most frequent abnormalities were cardiac hypertrophy (14.2 %); and the<br />complete and incomplete bundle branch blocks (11.5%).<br />Conclusion: Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors have a higher<br />prevalence than expected. A high prevalence of visible cardiopathies<br />has been registered by electrocardiogram, this diagnostic test represents<br />a basic tool for the care of the general population.<br />Keywords: Risk factors; Cardiovascular Diseases, Hypertension;<br />Electrocardiography</p>}, number={1}, journal={Horizonte Sanitario}, author={Acosta-Mayorquín, Arianna and Cardona-Navarro, Norma Alejandra and Aguilera-Mora, Luisa Fernanda and Raffoul Orozco, Abdel Kerim}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={69-74} }
