Resumen

Cardiovascular risk is defined as the aggregate of various factors that increase the likelihood of experiencing a fatal cardiovascular event within a specific timeframe (Cordero, H. et al., 2020)—typically 10 years. These risk factors are categorized as either modifiable or non-modifiable and encompass individual characteristics associated with the prevalence or incidence of heart disease (IMSS, 2011). Notably, data from the 10th Latin American Congress of Internal Medicine revealed that 44.3% of healthcare personnel exhibited high cardiovascular risk (Gaibor, I. et al., 2021). Given this evidence, the objective of this study is to identify the prevalence of cardiovascular risk among healthcare workers in Latin America.
