“…The obesity indexes detected in our population were expected, and the mean values of WC and WHR agree to other studies performed among patients with ACS 18 . Compared to men, in our study, the mean values of WC in women indicate a high risk for developing CVD and postmenopausal status plus hormone therapy may contribute to the worsening of this risk 19 .…”

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases of ischemic origin are associated with inadequate nutrition and excess adiposity. The aim of this study was to determine the dietary and anthropometric profile of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients ≥ 18 years and ACS admitted in a tertiary hospital in South of Brazil. Socio-demographic, clinical, anthropometric (weight, height, waist and hip circumferences) data and information regarding physical activity were evaluated; a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to identify the dietary intake. Comparisons between the nutrients’ intake obtained by dietary survey and those recommended by the national and international guidelines were carried out using the Student t-test for one mean. Results: A total of 104 patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 60.6 ± 11.3 years and 59.6% were man. The prevalence of obesity according to body mass index (BMI) was 32.7%, and 58.6% of the patients presented a very high waist circumference. In relation to diet, the amounts of energy (kcal/kg of body weight), protein (in %), saturated fat (in %) and sodium (in mg) were higher than the recommended by guidelines (p <0.004), and potassium, calcium, magnesium (in mg) and fiber (in g) intake were lower than that recommended (p values <0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity was high in patients with ACS and the intake of most of the evaluated nutrients was not in accordance with the recommendations of national and international guidelines.

BackgroundAbdominal obesity is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Therefore, identifying the best method for measuring waist circumference (WC) is a priority.ObjectiveTo evaluate the eight methods of measuring WC in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) as a predictor of cardiovascular complications during hospitalization. MethodsProspective study of patients with ACS. The measurement of WC was performed by eight known methods: midpoint between the last rib and the iliac crest (1), point of minimum circumference (2); immediately above the iliac crest (3), umbilicus (4), one inch above the umbilicus (5), one centimeter above the umbilicus (6), smallest rib and (7) the point of greatest circumference around the waist (8). Complications included: angina, arrhythmia, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, hypotension, pericarditis and death. Logistic regression tests were used for predictive factors. ResultsA total of 55 patients were evaluated. During the hospitalization period, which corresponded on average to seven days, 37 (67%) patients had complications, with the exception of death, which was not observed in any of the cases. Of these complications, the only one that was associated with WC was angina, and with every cm of WC increase, the risk for angina increased from 7.5 to 9.9%, depending on the measurement site. It is noteworthy the fact that there was no difference between the different methods of measuring WC as a predictor of angina. ConclusionThe eight methods of measuring WC are also predictors of recurrent angina after acute coronary syndromes.
