Summary: | Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. The objective of this work is to know the prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and heart failure in people diagnosed with diabetes in Spain during 2017 and compare them with those not diagnosed with diabetes according to age and sex.
Data for diagnoses of diabetes mellitus (DM), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD) or heart failure (HF) for 2017 were obtained from the National Health System's Primary Care Clinical Database (BDCAP).
Comparing people with diabetes and people without diabetes over 35 years of age, the Odds Ratio (OR) for being diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral artery disease or heart failure is about 2 in those over 64 years of age and more than 4 in patients under that age. This OR is superior in females versus males for all diagnoses apart from peripheral artery disease.
This study shows the high cardiovascular comorbidity of patients with diabetes in Spain, with a greater excess of risk in patients under 65 years of age, more pronounced in women. We should offer more intensive treatment for DM2 in women.
La enfermedad cardiovascular ateroesclerótica y la insuficiencia cardiaca son la principal causa de morbimortalidad en los pacientes con diabetes. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la prevalencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares ateroscleróticas y de insuficiencia cardíaca en personas diagnosticadas de diabetes en España durante el año 2017 y compararlas con las de las personas no diagnosticadas de diabetes en función de la edad y el sexo.
Los datos correspondientes a los diagnósticos de diabetes mellitus (DM), infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), accidente cerebrovascular (ACV), arteriopatía periférica (AP) o insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) del año 2017 se obtuvieron de la Base de Datos Clínicos de Atención Primaria (BDCAP) del Sistema Nacional de Salud.
Comparando personas con diabetes y sin diabetes mayores de 35 años, la Odds Ratio (OR) de estar diagnosticado de IAM, ACV, AP o IC es de alrededor de 2 en el caso de los mayores de 64 años y superior a 4 en los menores de esa edad. Esta OR es mayor en las mujeres respecto a los varones para todos los diagnósticos con excepción de la arteriopatía periférica.
Este estudio muestra la elevada comorbilidad cardiovascular de los pacientes con diabetes en España, objetivando un mayor |
