Abstract
Title: Evaluation of risk factors in cardiovascular patients with diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Background: prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in lupic patients.This study aimed to evaluate the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in patients diagnosed with SLE in a Rheumatology Ambulatory, comparing groups with and without SLE nephritis.
Methods: a quantitative, observational and cross-sectional study was carried out during the period from November 2016 to June 2017. 86 patients were interviewed using specific protocol.
Conclusions: among the cardiovascular risk factors evaluated, systemic hypertension was more frequent in SLE patients (33.7%), followed by smoking (17.4%) and diabetes mellitus (5.8%). There was, however, no difference between the frequency of these comorbidities in the groups with and without lupus nephritis.
