El consumo de tabaco tiene consecuencias adversas en la salud cardiovascular y representa un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial que demanda atención integral. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en PubMed de la literatura concerniente al impacto del tabaquismo sobre la salud cardiovascular reportada en metaanálisis publicados en los últimos 10 años. Doce estudios determinaron una asociación significativa entre el tabaquismo y la incidencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares, de los cuales seis demostraron una disminución importante de la morbimortalidad tras la implementación de políticas para el control del tabaco. Es necesario fortalecer las acciones de los gobiernos y los profesionales de la salud para disminuir la prevalencia de consumo de tabaco y proteger a la población general de las enfermedades asociadas con este producto, que afectan a todo el cuerpo y que tienden a generar enfermos con múltiples comorbilidades que se tienen que investigar. Palabras clave: Tabaquismo, enfermedad cardiovascular, legislación para control de tabaco. Cardiovascular effects of smoking ABSTRACT. Cigarette smoking has hazardous effects on cardiovascular health and represents a worldwide great concern that demands further attention. We conducted a systematic review using PubMed database of the literature concerning cardiovascular effects of cigarette smoking reported in meta-analyses published in the last 10 years. 12 studies determined a significant association between cigarette smoking and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases, 6 of them demonstrated a substantial decline in the morbimortality after tobacco control policies were implemented. There is a need for the governments and the health care providers to strengthen their actions in order to reduce the prevalence of tobacco smoking and protect the general population from smoking attributable diseases, affecting multiple organs and systems and generating patients with multiple comorbidities.

Objective The objective of this study is to propose a TeleNP model for remote assessment and offer practical recommendations for clinical practice with patients in Mexico and Latin America, based on a systematic literature review and clinical experience. Method A systematic review of studies from 2011 to 2021 in English and Spanish used TeleNP, teleneuropsychology, telepsychology, online, assessment, teleneuropsicología, and evaluación for the search; the databases examined included PubMed, BiDi UNAM, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Wiley One Library; the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine system was used to grade the levels of evidence. The experience of the last two years of students and faculty in the Master’s and Doctoral Programs in Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology Residency Program, was also used as a basis for this guide. Results We propose a clinical model for TeleNP assessment in Mexico and Latin America based on the review of 31 articles and the practice of professors and students of clinical neuropsychology. Conclusion The proposed model describes a procedure and adaptations for home-to-home clinical practice in the neuropsychological assessment of Mexican patients that could also be used in other Latin American countries. Its reliability remains to be assessed, but this model and the suggestions proposed could be used in future studies and clinical trials for Mexican and Latin American populations.
