title: [Risk factors for coronary artery disease in patients admitted in hemodynamics unit].
abstract: Transversal study aiming to evaluate the predominance of risk factor (RF) regarding to coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients submitted to cardiac procedures in hemodynamic unit. The study encloses 302 patients of 62 +/- 11-years-old, 270 (89%) predominantly white and 172 (57%) male. The most prevalent RF was 227 (75%) sedentism, followed by 220 (73%) arterial hypertension, 150 (50,5%) dyslipidemia, 87 (29%) obesity, 81 (27%) diabetes mellitus, 77 (25,5%) smoking, 67 (22%) alcohol and 15 (5%) diet poor of fruits and vegetables. The correlation was not relevant between the quantity of RF and its variables: scholarship, income, age, marital status, professional activity and gender in addition to the quantity of procedures submitted, comparing those with five or more RF for CAD; however there is a positive connection that reinforces the importance of strategies towards to reduce or remove modifiable RF.
