ABSTRACT

Introduction: The nursing staff and the rest of the population is exposed to cardiovascular risk factors, this is defined as the probability of developing cardiovascular disease within 10 years. Objective: Identify the level of cardiovascular risk according to Framingham in nurses working in a hospital in secondary care. Methodology: Descriptive cross sectional study of random sample of 194 members of the hospital nursing staff. The instruments were: socio-demographic and health survey; emptying format for systolic blood pressure; and Cardiovascular Risk Scale Framingham (for contexts where no cholesterol is measured). Data processing was SPSS version 18 and were analyzed with descriptive statistics (measures of center, dispersion) and absolute and relative frequencies. Results: The mean age was 39.5 years (SD = 8.5), with women (95.4%) prevalence; 13.3% reported positive smoking and 57.9% reported a family history of cardiovascular disease, 90.8% reported not suffering Diabetes Mellitus, like 88.2% did not suffer from hypertension. Regarding the systolic blood pressure, the average was 109.54 mmHg. Regarding the prediction of risk for cardiovascular disease, 66.3% were found at very low risk and only 12% was between temper risk to high risk. Conclusions: The level of risk for cardiovascular disease in nursing staff was “very low” according to Framingham. It is necessary to emphasize the reduction of modifiable risk factors and promote health behaviors to maintain a low risk and delay the presentation of cardiovascular disease.
