          RESUMEN Introducción: El uso adecuado de la aspirina para la prevención primaria de eventos de enfermedades cardiovasculares requiere de la evaluación de los beneficios y riesgos para el paciente. Objetivos: Determinar el riesgo cardiovascular global y el uso adecuado de aspirina como prevención primaria de enfermedades cardiovasculares en pacientes ambulatorios de Clínica Médica del Hospital de Clínicas. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, prospectivo en pacientes ambulatorios de Clínica Médica del Hospital de Clínicas entre setiembre de 2017 y setiembre de 2018. Se incluyó a pacientes de ambos sexos, entre 40 y 79 años de edad, que presentan uno o más de los siguientes factores de riesgo cardiovascular: HTA, dislipidemias, DM2, tabaquismo. Se midieron las variables sociodemográficas, presión arterial sistólica y diastólica, colesterol total, c-HDL, c-LDL, historia de HTA, DM2, tabaquismo, uso de estatinas y ácido acetilsalicílico. Para medir las variables se elaboró un cuestionario. Se calculó el puntaje de riesgo cardiovascular global según ACC/AHA, utilizando la calculadora ASCVD Risk. Resultados: Se analizaron 100 cuestionarios, edad promedio de 61±5,3 años, 67% mujeres y el 100% son de raza blanca. El 88% fueron hipertensos, 73% dislipidemicos, 43% diabéticos y 24% tabaquista. El 50% presentaron riesgo cardiovascular global alto, el promedio de riesgo cardiovascular es de 15±3,6 %. El 60% con adecuada indicación de aspirina para la prevención primaria de eventos cardiovasculares. Conclusión: La mitad de los pacientes presentaron riesgo cardiovascular alto y en el 60% el uso de aspirina fue adecuado para la prevención primaria de eventos cardiovasculares.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: The adequate use of aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease events requires the evaluation of the benefits and risks for the patient. Objectives: To determine the global cardiovascular risk and the adequate use of aspirin as primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in outpatients of the Clínica Médica del Hospital de Clínicas. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study in outpatients of the Clínica Médica del Hospital de Clínicas between September 2017 and September 2018. Patients of both sexes, between 40 and 79 years of age, who had one or more of the following cardiovascular risk factors: HT, dyslipidemia, T2DM, smoking. Sociodemographic variables, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, history of HT, DM2, smoking, use of statins and acetylsalicylic acid were measured. To measure the variables, a questionnaire was prepared. The global cardiovascular risk score was calculated according to ACC / AHA, using the ASCVD Risk calculator. Results: 100 questionnaires were analyzed, average age of 61 ± 5.3 years, 67% women and 100% are white. 88% were hypertensive, 73% dyslipidemic, 43% diabetic and 24% tobacco addicted. 50% presented high global cardiovascular risk, the average cardiovascular risk is 15 ± 3.6%. 60% with adequate indication of aspirin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events. Conclusion: Half of the patients presented high cardiovascular risk and in 60% the use of aspirin was adequate for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events.

          Effects of Aspirin for Primary Prevention in Persons with Diabetes Mellitus

          (2018)
          Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Aspirin use reduces the risk of occlusive vascular events but increases the risk of bleeding; the balance of benefits and hazards for the prevention of first cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes is unclear.
