Abstract

Objective: The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the DiabetIMSS program on cardiovascular risk, blood pressure and HDL cholesterol in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Methods: Quasi-experimental intervention study. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling. 35 subjects in the educational strategy one year were included. The following variables were collected: age, gender, smoking, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure; cardiovascular risk calculator based on Framingham is calculated. Descriptive and inferential statistical percentages with Student t test was used.

Results: There was an increase in the proportion of subjects increased their subsequent figures HDL cholesterol intervention, there by generating an increase of protective factor (p < 0.05). Because of the blood pressure a marked improvement in all ranges of blood pressure (p < 0.05) was presented.

Conclusions: The educational strategy for the control of diabetic patients presented a favorable performance in HDL-cholesterol and blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular patients.

Objetivo: evaluar el efecto del programa DiabetIMSS sobre el riesgo cardiovascular, la tensión arterial y colesterol-HDL en pacientes con síndrome metabólico. Métodos: estudio de intervención cuasiexperimental. Muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Se incluyeron 35 sujetos que participaron en la estrategia educativa de un año de duración. Se recolectaron las siguientes variables: edad, género, tabaquismo, colesterol total, HDL, TA sistólica y diastólica; se calculó el riesgo cardiovascular con calculadora basada en Framingham. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva con porcentajes e inferencial con t de Student. Resultados: hubo una elevación de la proporción de sujetos que incrementaron sus cifras del colesterol-HDL posterior a la intervención, generando, por ende, un incremento del factor protector (p < 0.05). En razón de las cifras tensionales, se presentó una mejoría notable en todos los rangos de presión arterial (p < 0.05). Conclusiones: la estrategia educativa para el control del paciente diabético presentó un comportamiento favorable en el colesterol-HDL y tensión arterial, disminuyendo el riesgo cardiovascular de los pacientes.
