Avaliação do tratamento das dislipidemias em pacientes acompanhados no ambulatório de cardiologia do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to evaluate for achieving lipid targets preconized on the V Brazilian guideline for dyslipidemia and prevention of atherosclerosis. Methods: A quantitative research was performed with a retrospective cross-sectional study by collecting data from medical records of 148 assessed patients in the ambulatory at the Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC). 90 medical records were excluded due to the absence of relevant data to the statistical analysis. Results: The analysis showed that a great number of the assessed patients had desirable (24,1%) or great (63,7%) levels of control over the LDL-c levels, according to the V Brazilian guideline for dyslipidemia and prevention of atherosclerosis. And, considering the previously established knowledge about the positive relation between the LDL-c levels and the risk of a coronary disease, only few assessed (5,1%) by this service were found under a high risk of adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusion: The obtained results allowed to conclude that early diagnosis and proper treatment to patients who have dyslipidemia are tangible. And, for such achievements, it is relevant to reinforce the need of a state participation with public policies towards the assurance of an integral treatment for low-income patients.
