Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are a high risk of mortality in the population and are inherent to several factors. The main responsible for this disease is atherosclerosis, is due to different risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, age, gender, among others. For diagnosis and evaluation of carotid atherosclerosis there are tests such as Triplex Cervical Scan.
Methods: The sample consists of 569 individuals, who performed Triplex Cervical Scan in 2019, at the Laboratory of Cardiac and Neurovascular Ultrasound, located at the Hospital do Espírito Santo, in Évora.
Results: The sample included 569 individuals, with a mean age of 78 years. The most prevalent cardiovascular risk factors were HTA and dyslipidemia. In the relationship between dyslipidemia and increased severity of the degree of stenosis, statistical significance was proven between the risk factor dyslipidemia with the right carotid axis and the left vertebral artery. Of the individuals with dyslipidemia at the level of the left carotid axis, 25.8% had carotid atherosclerosis without hemodynamic repercussion. Regarding the statistical significance between cardiovascular risk factors and the presence of atherosclerosis with a higher degree of severity, only correlation with the age factor was proven.
Discussion: In the study sample, most individuals present several cardiovascular risk factors, and the highest prevalence was recorded in hypertension and dyslipidemia, since they exist in more than half of the sample population.
Conclusion: With the present study, it is possible to conclude that in this sample there is a prevalence of several risk factors in individuals with iim values above normal. The age factor that proved to be quite influential in the presence of atherosclerosis. Of the individuals with dyslipidemia more than half have atherosclerosis, at its earliest stage.
