RESUMO OBJETIVO: Analisar se a implementação de um programa educacional multidisciplinar para prevenção cardiovascular em escolas públicas durante um ano pode contribuir para reduzir o escore de risco cardiovascular de Framingham dos pais das crianças. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo, de base comunitária, caso-controle em duas escolas públicas de São Paulo, Brasil. Os alunos foram randomizados para receber recomendações de estilo de vida saudável por duas abordagens diferentes. O grupo controle recebeu folhetos educacionais de saúde cardiovascular encaminhados para seus pais. O grupo intervenção recebeu os mesmos folhetos e as crianças foram expostas a um programa educacional semanal, durante um ano, com uma equipe multidisciplinar em prevenção cardiovascular. Dados clínicos e laboratoriais foram coletados no início e no final do estudo. RESULTADOS: Foram sujeitos do estudo 418 pais das crianças das escolas. No início da pesquisa, o total de pais com escore de Framingham intermediário ou alto (risco superior a 10% de doença cardiovascular nos próximos dez anos) foi de 6,9% no grupo controle e de 13,3% no grupo intervenção. Após um ano, dentre os pais com escore de risco de Framingham intermediário ou alto, foi observada redução de 22,2% no grupo intervenção e aumento de 33,3% no grupo controle (p=0,031). Os fatores de risco cardiovascular que melhoraram no grupo de intervenção foram pressão arterial, LDL-colesterol (lipoproteína de baixa densidade) e glicemia. CONCLUSÃO: Um programa educacional de prevenção cardiovascular para crianças em idade escolar, em escolas públicas, pode reduzir o risco cardiovascular de seus pais.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze whether the implementation of a multidisciplinary educational programme for cardiovascular prevention in public schools can contribute to reducing the Fram INGHAM CARDIOVASCULAR RISK SCORE OF THE CHILDREN'S PARENTS AFTER ONE YEAR. METHODS: This was a prospective, community-based, case-control study carried out in public schools in Sao Paulo, Brasil. Students were randomized to receive healthy lifestyle recommendations by two different approaches. The control group received written cardiovascular health educational brochures for their parents. The intervention group received the same brochures for the parents, and the children were exposed to a weekly educational programme on cardiovascular prevention with a multidisciplinary health team for one year. Clinical and laboratorial data were collected at the onset and end of the study. RESULTS: We studied 265 children and their 418 parents. At the baseline, the rate of parents with intermediate or high Framingham scores (risk of cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years greater than 10%) was 6.9% in the control group and 13.3% in the intervention group. After one year, the rate of parents with intermediate or high Framingham risk score was reduced by 22.2% in the intervention group and increased by 33.3% in the control group (p=0.031). The cardiovascular risk factors that improved in the intervention group were blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and glucose levels. CONCLUSION: An educational programme on cardiovascular prevention for school-age children in public schools can reduce the cardiovascular risk of their parents.

RESUMO Os pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata são geralmente idosos e muitos deles usam drogas com efeitos sistêmicos. No entanto, o cirurgião deve estar ciente dos riscos em manter ou descontinuar medicamentos sistêmicos no pré-operatório da cirurgia de catarata, como os anticoagulantes e os antiplaquetários. Este artigo tem como objetivo revisar a classe de drogas antiplaquetárias e anticoagulantes e orientar o cirurgião de catarata. A classe de fármacos anticoagulantes e antiplaquetária reduz a incidência de eventos potencialmente tromboembólicos. A anestesia tópica ou intracameral nesses pacientes deve ser preferida em relação à anestesia com agulhas. Aspirina pode ser mantida com segurança nos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de catarata. A varfarina foi amplamente estudada e os riscos na cirurgia de catarata são baixos, no entanto, o INR deve ser controlado. Mais estudos são necessários com anticoagulantes orais diretos. Anestesia na cirurgia de catarata tem baixo risco de complicações, mesmo em uso de anticoagulantes ou antiplaquetários sistêmicos. A descontinuação desta classe de medicamentos no pré-operatório da cirurgia de catarata pode aumentar os riscos sistêmicos tromboembólicos.

ABSTRACT Patients undergoing cataract surgery are generally elderly, and many take drugs with systemic effects. The surgeon must be aware of the risks of continuing or discontinuing such medications perioperatively. Antiplatelet drugs and anticoagulants, prescribed to reduce the incidence of thromboembolic events, are often used in this population. This paper aims to review the perioperative use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs in the setting of cataract surgery. Topical or intracameral anesthesia is preferred over anesthesia injected with needles. Aspirin can be safely continued in patients undergoing cataract surgery. Warfarin has been extensively studied, and the risk of hemorrhage associated with cataract surgery is low if the international normalized ratio is in the therapeutic range. Only a few studies of direct oral anticoagulants are available, and therefore no definite recommendations regarding those agents can be made at this time. Anesthesia in cataract surgery carries a low risk, even for patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. The discontinuation of this class of drugs before cataract surgery may increase the risk of thromboembolism.

ABSTRACT Introduction Surgical treatment of urinary incontinence progressed significantly with the introduction of synthetic slings. However, in some public Brazilian hospitals, the costs of these materials prevent their routine use. Objective To compare the costs of ambulatory synthetic sling surgery with an historical series of patients submitted to Burch surgery in a Brazilian public hospital. Materials and Methods Twenty nine incontinent patients were selected to synthetic sling surgery. Demographic data were prospectively collected and also the costs of the procedure, including drugs and materials, use of surgical and recovery wards, medical staff and hospitalization. These data were compared to the costs of 29 Burch surgeries performed before the introduction of synthetic slings. Results Demographic data were similar, although median age was lower in the group submitted to Burch surgery (46.3±8.6 versus 56.2±11.3 (p<0.001)). Cost was significantly lower in patients submitted to sling in all items, except for time spent in recovery ward. Total value of 29 Burch surgeries was R$ 217.766.12, and of R$ 68.049.92 of 29 patients submitted to sling surgery (p<0.001). Conclusion Burch surgery was more expensive than ambulatory synthetic transobturator sling surgery, even when the cost of the synthetic sling was considered.

OBJETIVO: Este trabalho objetivou rastrear em indivíduos adultos o risco de vir a desenvolver diabetes mellitus (DM) tipo 2. MÉTODOS: Diversos fatores de risco para DM (sedentarismo, doença coronariana prévia, uso de medicação hiperglicemiante, índice de massa corporal (IMC), pressão arterial, níveis séricos de triglicerídeos e colesterol HDL-col) foram avaliados em 314 adultos, em funçãodosexoe faixa etária. RESULTADOS: 73,2% da população somou dois ou mais fatores de risco simultaneamente, e 26,8% apresentaram menos de dois fatores. Observou-se a ocorrência de fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento da DM mesmo entre adultos jovens, e a ocorrência dos mesmos tende a estra associada com o avanço da idade. Foram observadas diferenças nos fatores e incidência de risco entre homens e mulheres na mesma faixa etária. CONCLUSÃO: Independentemente da idade estudada, os fatores de risco associados a DM de maior prevalência foram: IMC, sedentarismo e diminuição do HDL-colesterol, os quais podem ser modificáveis, reforçando a importância de medidas preventivas. Divergências encontradas entre os fatores de risco prevalentes em homens e mulheres sugerem também que diferenças socioculturais influenciam o risco de desenvolvimento da DM.

OBJECTIVE: To screen the risk of developing diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) in adult individuals. METHODS: Several risk factors for DM2 (sedentary lifestyle, previous coronary artery disease, hyperglycemia-inducing medications, body mass index [BMI], blood pressure, serum triglyceride, and HDL-cholesterol levels) were assessed in 314 adults as a function of gender and age group. RESULTS: 73.2% of the population had two or more concurrent risk factors and 26.8% had less than two factors. The occurrence of risk factors for DM2 development was observed even in young adults, and the risk factors are likely associated with aging. Differences in risk factors and incidence were observed between men and women in the same age group. CONCLUSION: Regardless the age studied, the most prevalent risk factors associated with DM2 were: BMI, sedentary lifestyle, and reduced serum HDL-cholesterol, which are modifiable, thus increasing the importance of preventive measures. Discrepancies found in prevalent risk factors in men and women also suggest that sociocultural differences influence the risk of developing DM.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical and demographic characteristics of a population with ischemic heart disease admitted in the final decades of the 20th century. METHODS: This study retrospectively assessed patients hospitalized with ischemic heart disease divided into the following 2 groups: acute group - 11.181 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted from 1/1/82 to 12/31/94; and chronic group - 4.166 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery from 1/1/84 to 12/31/94. RESULTS: In the acute group, an increase in the percentage of females (from 22.7% to 27.7%, P<0.001) and diabetic individuals (from 12.4% to 17.5%, P<0.001) was observed, as was an increase in age (from 57.4±11.5 to 59.9±12.1 years, P<0.05). In-hospital mortality was greater among females (27.8% and 15.7%, P=0.001), among diabetic individuals (24.2% and 17.8%, P=0.001), and among the elderly (60.9±15.2 and 57.7±11.8 years, P=0.0001). In the chronic group, an increase in the percentage of females (from 17.5% to 27.2%, P=0.001) was observed, as was an increase in age (from 56.3±8.6 to 60.5±9.6 years, P=0.0001). In-hospital mortality was greater among females (8.3% and 5.8%, P<0.05) and among the elderly (58.1±9.1 and 62.1±7.9 years, P=0.0001). CONCLUSION: The characteristics of the population studied with ischemic heart disease point towards a worse prognosis, due to the greater percentages of females, older patients, and diabetic patients, groups known to have greater in-hospital mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain information about the profile and behavior of a population with ischemic heart disease undergoing cine coronary angiography and to determine disease severity. METHODS: Retrospective study assessing patients hospitalized at InCor from 1986 to 1995, in which the variables age, sex, and number of major coronary arteries with obstruction degree > 40% were analyzed. RESULTS: We studied 18,221 patients and observed a significant increase in the number of females (22.8% to 25.2%, P=0.001) and an increase in age (57.1±29.3 to 60.4±10.7 years, P=0.0001). A significant increase in the incidence of multivessel disease was observed, which was more frequent among males (69.2% and 64.5%) and among the older patients (59.8±9.8 and 56.8±10.7 years, P=0.0001). A reduction in the incidence of single-vessel disease was also observed (66.2% vs 69.2% and 33.8% vs 30.5%, respectively, P<0.0001). CONCLUSION: A change in the profile of the population studied was observed as follows: patients undergoing cine coronary angiography at InCor were older, had a greater number of impaired major coronary arteries, and the number of females affected increased, leading to indices suggestive of a poorer prognosis.

OBJETIVO: A doença isquêmica do coração apresenta altas taxas de mortalidade e é a mais prevalente entre as doenças cardiovasculares. É uma doença multifatorial, cuja prevenção depende do controle dos fatores de risco. O eletrocardiograma de repouso pode ser utilizado para detectar manifestações da doença isquêmica do coração quando o indivíduo ainda é assintomático. O objetivo do estudo foi o de analisar a relação entre as anormalidades eletrocardiográficas e os fatores de risco para doença isquêmica do coração em uma população adulta residente na área metropolitana de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com população do município de Cotia (SP). A amostra constou de 1067 indivíduos com idade acima de 20 anos, de ambos os sexos. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista com utilização de um questionário padronizado. As variáveis estudadas foram: sexo, idade, tabagismo, atividade física, índice de massa corpórea, relação cintura/quadril, pressão arterial, diabetes melito, dislipidemia (colesterol total, LDL-colesterol, HDL-colesterol e triglicérides) e alterações eletrocardiográficas. As alterações eletrocardiográficas foram agrupadas em três categorias: alterações de repolarização ventricular (ARV), sobrecarga do ventrículo esquerdo (SVE) e alterações não relacionadas à isquemia miocárdia ou sem alterações (NRI). RESULTADOS: A população de estudo era predominantemente jovem, sendo 79% abaixo de 50 anos, com idade de 39,8 anos ± 13,2 anos. Cerca de 59,3% dos indivíduos eram do sexo feminino. O eletrocardiograma mostrou que 9,5% da população apresentava ARV e 3,3% apresentava SVE. O sexo feminino, a idade de risco (acima de 65 anos para mulheres e acima de 55 anos para homens), a presença de diabetes, hipertensão arterial, colesterol total ³ a 200 mg/dl, LDL-colesterol ³ a 130 mg/dl, triglicérides acima de 200 mg/dl, índice de massa corpórea indicativo de sobrepeso ou obesidade (³25 Kg/m2),relação cintura/quadril alterada correlacionaram-se positivamente com ARV. O sexo masculino, diabetes, hipertensão arterial e o tabagismo foram correlacionados positivamente com SVE. Na presença de ARV no ECG encontramos uma razão de chance de 3,54 para a ocorrência do diagnóstico de hipertensão sistólica e de 1,83 para colesterol total ³ a 200 mg/dl. Na presença de SVE no ECG, a razão de chance para a ocorrência do diagnóstico de hipertensão sistólica observada foi de 5,92. Dos três fatores de risco correlacionados às alterações eletrocardiográficas associadas à isquemia miocárdia, dois são controláveis e ligados a condições nutricionais (hipertensão e colesterol ³ a 200 mg/dl), o que demonstra a importância da sua detecção precoce. Em estudos epidemiológicos e de intervenção nutricional, o eletrocardiograma, método simples e de baixo custo, pode auxiliar na identificação de fatores de risco cardiovascular. Seria importante que estas informações fossem confirmadas por estudos prospectivos que incluíssem a determinação dos valores preditivos do ECG nesta situação.

OBJETIVE: Ischemic heart disease is associated with high rates of mortality and it is the most prevalent among cardiovascular diseases. It is a multifactorial disease, and its prevention depends on control of risk factors. Resting electrocardiogram can be used to detect manifestations of ischemic heart disease, since some electrocardiographic abnormalities are indicative of coronary disease in asymptomatic subjects. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between electrocardiographic abnormalities and risk factors for ischemic heart disease in an adult population from the metropolitan area of São Paulo. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in an adult population (age 20 years and over) from Cotia, near São Paulo, southeastern of Brazil. The study population comprised 1067 subjects. The subjects were interviewed using a questionnaire. The variables studied were: gender, age, smoking behaviour, physical activity, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, blood lipids (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides) and electrocardiographic abnormalities. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were grouped according to the classification: ST-T changes, left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormalities non related to ischemic myocardial disease or without abnormalities. RESULTS: The population was relatively -young (79% younger than 50 years, mean age 39.8 ± 13.2 years old), and 59.3% were female. The resting electrocardiogram showed ST-T changes in 9.5% of the subjects and left ventricular hypertrophy in 3.3%. Female gender, age over 65 years for women and 55 years for men, diabetes, hypertension, total cholesterol > or = 200 mg/dl, LDL-cholesterol > or = 130 mg/dl, Triglycerides > or = 200 mg/dl, body mass index > or = 25 Kg/m² and abnormal waist-to-hip ratio, were positively related to ST-T changes. Male gender, diabetes, hypertension and smoking behaviour were positively related to left ventricular hypertrophy. In the presence of ST-T changes on the ECG, we observed an odds ratio of 3.54 for the diagnosis of systolic hypertension an of 1.83 for total cholesterol > or = 200 mg/dl. In the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy on the ECG, we found an odds ratio of 5.92 for systolic hypertension diagnosis. Among the three most important risk factors correlated to electrocardiographic abnormalities indicative of myocardial ischemia, two can be controlled by nutritional intervention (hypertension and total cholesterol > or = 200 mg/dl). This findings suggest the importance of its early detection. Future studies should determine the predictive value of the electrocardiogram, a simple and inexpensive method, suggesting the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in epidemiologycal and nutritional studies.
