“…Diabetes was recorded in 20.9% of patients, slightly lower than that found by RETIC (Instituto Nacional de Estadıśtica y Censos -I.N.D.E.C, 2019). Population studies (Meneńdez et al, 2006;Slimel et al, 2010;Corradi et al, 2012) report values lower than those found here, probably due to a selection bias, given the characteristics of the cohort.…”

IntroductionAccording to estimates by the World Health Organization, the infection and disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi affects almost 6 million people, and more than 1 million suffer chagasic cardiomyopathy (Ch-CMP). It is estimated that 376,000 of these individuals live in Argentina. This study describes the characteristics and medical management of individuals with Ch-CMP in Argentina.MethodsThis is a descriptive, retrospective, cross-sectional study on the diagnosis and clinical and therapeutic evaluation of patients with Ch-MCP using historical records collected from different medical institutions in the country between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2021.ResultsDuring this period, 652 patients (mean age 61.2 years ± 12.9) were included, with women accounting for 60.3% of the sample. The diagnosis of cardiac insufficiency was 36.0% and 64.4% had arrhythmias. The most common cardiovascular risk factors detected were arterial hypertension (69.5%), smoking (56.6%), and diabetes (20.9%). Less than half of the subjects (45.4%) had been studied by electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, and echocardiogram. ECG studies showed conduction disorders (38.8%), left ventricular hypertrophy (28.1%), ventricular extrasystoles (22.0%), complete right bundle branch block (8.6%), and atrioventricular block (2.6%). According to the Kuschnir classification, 21.4% of the study subjects were in Grade 3.ConclusionsThe patients included in the study had a similar clinical presentation and history of the disease to those published in other studies. When evaluating the medical practices, we found that patients were inadequately studied. Although it is difficult to estimate the fraction of the total number of patients represented by the present study, the study allowed us to establish that the care received by patients was not adequate.

Introducción. La epidemia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) incrementa la enfermedad cardiovascular y la morbimortalidad; por tanto, es importante prevenir, tratar integralmente y valorar complicaciones y comorbilidades asociadas.Objetivo. Presentar una revisión sobre prevención de DM2 y riesgo cardiovascular con enfoque médico y nutricional.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo una revisión en las bases de datos Embase, PubMed, Bireme (LILACS, SciELO) y Cochrane Library con términos específicos. La búsqueda se hizo en inglés y español sobre publicaciones entre 2001 y 2016.Resultados. Se encontraron 811 publicaciones y, después de aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 71 documentos clasificados así: 24 artículos de investigación, 14 artículos de revisión, 18 guías clínicas, 8 consensos y 7 de otras categorías (informes, capítulos de libro, normatividad y un libro)Conclusión. La educación es una herramienta fundamental para prevenir y tratar factores de riesgo. Se debe incentivar el trabajo en equipo con el paciente y la familia para reducir el desarrollo de comorbilidades asociadas a DM2.
