Abstract

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) causan 30% del total de las muertes en todo el mundo; de estas 80% sucede en los países en vía de desarrollo.  El 1% de las personas en el mundo presenta un evento coronario agudo o cerebrovascular por año y la mitad de estos eventos se produce en individuos con enfermedad vascular preexistente. Los países de bajos y medianos ingresos presentan un incremento en la carga de las ECV y la mayoría no tiene programas concretos y bien definidos  para su prevención.
Se ha estimado que para el año 2020, habrá un aumento  entre 120% y 137%  en la incidencia de enfermedad coronaria en las mujeres y los hombres respectivamente, en los países en desarrollo. Este fenómeno se explica, entre otras razones, por la denominada transición epidemiológica, que se asocia con  un notable aumento en la prevalencia de facto-res de riesgo como la obesidad, la hipertensión arterial, el tabaquismo, el consumo exagerado de alcohol, los cambios en los hábitos nutricionales y el sedentarismo. Estos  factores  están relacionados con la rápida urbanización que han sufrido los países de bajos y medianos ingresos.
