IntroductionIn Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) controls and oversees public health care, and the Family Health Strategy (FHS) is its primary access, with 60% of the population registered in it. The surveillance of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the responsibility of the FHS. In 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA) proposed the evaluation of seven metrics (smoking, Body Mass Index (BMI), physical activity, diet, total cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose) with an aim to monitoring cardiovascular health (CVH). However, the results of the FHS regarding the CVH of the Brazilian population are unascertained.ObjectiveEvaluate the control of CVH among adult patients treated by the FHS in the city of Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil.Material and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using the seven metrics recommended by the AHA to evaluate CVH among patients treated by the FHS. The city of Aracaju has a population of 571,149 inhabitants, with 394,267 > 20 years of age; therefore, it was admitted that in a simple random sample, sampling error of 5% with 95% CI, 329 individuals would be needed.ResultsAmong 400 patients, only 32.5% had controlled CVH. In a univariate analysis, the adjusted multivariate analysis found that being female (aOR: 2.07 IC: 1.20 to 3.60 p: 0.006) under 45 years old (aOR: 1.61 IC: 1.15 to 2.28 p: 0.006) and with the habit of following health advice from family members and neighbors (aOR: 1.28 IC: 1.15 to 2.28 p: 0.040) were associated with control of CVH. On the other hand, those ones who had a greater number of children (aOR: 0.91 IC: 0.84 to 0.95 p: 0.020) were associated with less control of CVH.ConclusionsThe study showed that only 32.5% of patients have controlled CVH. Being a woman, young and following health advice from family members and neighbors have a positive influence in controlling CVH. More children reduced controlling these metrics.

Objetivo: Analisar o desenvolvimento de complicações durante a internação de pacientes com COVID-19 e IC. Método: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, quantitativo, a partir da revisão dos prontuários dos pacientes internados na Unidade de Doenças Respiratórias (UDR) de um Hospital Universitário do nordeste brasileiro, com RT-PCR reagente para SARS-COV2 e diagnóstico de IC. Resultados: Dos 77 pacientes, 51 (66,2%) apresentavam uma insuficiência cardíaca crônica agudizada (ICCa) enquanto os demais (n = 26; 33,8%) não tinham história de cardiopatia prévia e estavam apresentando o primeiro episódio de insuficiência cardíaca aguda (ICA). Aqueles com a classificação NYHA IV tiveram maior risco de desenvolver choque (p = 0,001), parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) (p = 0,01), síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo (SDRA) (p < 0,0001), bacteremia (p = 0,008), hemorragia e dano hepático (p = 0,04) como complicações. A taxa de mortalidade intra-hospitalar foi de 39% (n= 30).  Ao analisar a relação entre o tipo de complicação desenvolvida com o desfecho óbito, choque, PCR, SDRA (p < 0,0001), pneumonia (p = 0,009), bacteremia (p = 0,0003), hemorragia, anemia (p = 0,02), arritmia cardíaca (p = 0,03) e dano hepático (p = 0,04) tiveram associação significante. Conclusão: A associação entre IC e COVID-19 na internação leva a uma alta taxa de mortalidade intra-hospitalar. Pacientes com a classe funcional NYHA IV possuem maior risco de desenvolver complicações e óbito durante internação.  Além disso, os pacientes com IC e COVID-19 que desenvolvem pneumonia, SDRA, choque, PCR, anemia, hemorragia, arritmia, dano hepático e/ou bacteremia possuem maior taxa de mortalidade.
