Elevada prevalencia de hipertrofia ventricular izquierda en pacientes con hipertensión arterial de larga evolución

Abstract

Fundamento y objetivo La hipertrofia ventricular izquierda (HVI) es la enfermedad cardiaca mas frecuente en hipertensos. El objetivo es conocer la prevalencia de HVI en poblacion hipertensa de larga evolucion tratada en el ambito de atencion primaria (AP), asi como su perfil epidemiologico. Pacientes y metodo Estudio descriptivo, transversal y multicentrico, de 915 hipertensos que acudieron consecutivamente a consultas de AP y llevaban mas de 5 anos en tratamiento farmacologico. Se midio la presion arterial y se realizo anamnesis y registro de datos electrocardiograficos y bioquimicos. Se evaluo la HVI segun criterios de Cornell y/o Sokolow-Lyon. Resultados La poblacion estudiada (el 63% mujeres) tiene una media de edad de 68,7 anos; el 31,6% son diabeticos y el 37,5% tiene la presion arterial controlada. El 30,5% presenta criterios electrocardiograficos de HVI, con mayor prevalencia en mujeres; asimismo, las mujeres con HVI tienen una edad mas avanzada. El 30% tiene antecedentes de enfermedad cardiovascular y la prevalencia de insuficiencia cardiaca es mayor en pacientes con HVI. El 54% esta en politerapia antihipertensiva y no hay diferencias significativas en el tratamiento de los pacientes con y sin HVI. El 77% de los pacientes con HVI cumplen unicamente el criterio de Cornell; el 12%, solo el de Sokolow-Lyon y el 11%, ambos criterios. Los pacientes que solo tienen positividad para el criterio de Cornell se caracterizan por predominio del sexo femenino y mayor prevalencia de obesidad. Conclusiones La prevalencia de HVI, valorada mediante criterios electrocardiograficos, es elevada en hipertensos de larga evolucion, especialmente en mujeres. Es preciso insistir en la realizacion periodica de electrocardiogramas en hipertensos e incrementar el esfuerzo terapeutico.
