Abstract: 
  • OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de eventos cardiovasculares (ECV) secundários à aterosclerose em pacientes com lupus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) e correlacioná-los aos tradicionais fatores de risco, tempo de doença e drogas utilizadas na terapia. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo através da coleta e análise dos dados contidos nos prontuários de pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado há no mínimo dois anos e seguidos desde 1992. Foram considerados ECV: angina do peito (AP), IAM e acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) de causa não relacionada à atividade do LES. Foram computados os fatores de risco para aterosclerose e dados sobre tratamento. RESULTADOS: Foram analisados 71 prontuários. A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 34,2±12,7 anos; 68 mulheres e três homens; 58 caucasóides (81,6%). Dez (14,08%) apresentaram ECV. Os pacientes nos quais os eventos cardiovasculares foram observados apresentavam idade mais elevada (42,7 vs 32,8 anos p=0,0021) e maior tempo de doença (10,8 vs 7,2 anos p=0,011). Os tradicionais fatores de risco, as doses diárias e cumulativas de esteróides, imunossupressores e antimaláricos não apresentaram diferença estatística significante entre pacientes que apresentaram ou não ECV. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de secundários à aterosclerose no LES foi semelhante ao da literatura, 14,08%. Os tradicionais fatores de risco não mostraram associação com a ocorrência ou não de ECV no LES. Os pacientes nos quais os eventos cardiovasculares foram observados apresentavam idade mais elevada e maior tempo de doença. É precoce estabelecer-se que o LES possa ser um fator independente no desenvolvimento da aterosclerose.
  • OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular events (CVE) secondary to atherosclerosis in lupus patients and correlate them to the traditional risk factors, disease duration and drug therapy used. METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out based on data obtained from patients charts. Patients included were those who had a lupus diagnosis confirmed at least two years before inclusion in the study and had been followed since 1992. CVE were characterized as MI, angina pectoris and stroke non-related to lupus activity. Risk factors and drugs used for treatment were recorded. RESULTS: Seventy-one charts were analyzed. Patients mean age was 34.2±12.7 years; 68 were women and three were men; 58 were Caucasian (81.6%). Ten (14.08%) presented CVE. Patients in whom CVE were observed were older (42.7 vs. 32.8 years p=0.0021) and presented longer disease duration (10.8 vs. 7.2 years p=0.011). The traditional risk factors, daily and cumulative doses of steroids, immunosuppressive drugs and antimalarial drugs were not significant when patients with and without CVE were compared. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of CVE secondary to atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was 14.08%. The traditional risk factors were not associated with the development of CVE in lupus patients. Patients that presented cardiovascular events were older and presented longer disease duration. It is a premature conclusion to establish SLE as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis development.
