ABSTRACT

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is a complex disease of multiple processes and factors that could be either enviromental or genetics. Diabetic patients with myocardial infarction have a bigger risk of mortality.
Material and methods: It was carried out a retrospective and descriptive study in 229 patients who came out from intensive care with myocardial infarction diagnosis during the period 2002-2004. Records were analyzed to classify diabetic patients according to the different risk factors. Results: Masculine sex prevailed in the non diabetic group of patients with 65,3%, however, femenine sex prevailed among diabetic patients in both types:1 and 2 with 60% and 79,4% respectively. The group of patients over 60 years old was the most affected with 55,1% corresponding to diabetics type 2 a 72,4%. There was 80% of diabetic patients with high blood pressure(130/85) and 84,6% of diabetics type 2 had 3 or more risk factors for infarction.
Conclusions: Female sex and age group over 60 years prevailed among the most affected. Hypertension and smoking habit predominated as risk factors in patients with myocardial infarction.
