Lipoprotéinas de baixa densidade e triglicérides e o risco de desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular: levantamento de dados feito em um laboratório escola

Abstract

Objective: To gather laboratory data on triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) from the Clinical Laboratory (LAC) of PUC Goiás and compare with the risk of developing cardiac vascular accidents (CVA) as evidenced in the literature. Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study, with a quantitative analytical approach, based on the analysis of LDL and TG levels of patients at LAC - PUC Goiás from October 2023 to November 2023. Data were tabulated using Microsoft Office Excel 365 and analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). This study is approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: When analyzing the age and classification of isolated hypercholesterolemia, mixed hyperlipidemia and isolated hypertriglyceridemia of the sample, the p value was 0.725, indicating no significant relationship. In relation to age groups, a value of p<0.001 was obtained, showing a significant relationship. Post hoc analysis revealed a higher prevalence of isolated hypertriglyceridemia in the age group of 50 to 59 years (23.8%). Conclusion: Greater attention is needed for patients aged 50 to 59 years, aiming at screening, diagnosis and preventive treatment to minimize the risk of developing stroke.
