Abstract

The proposed intervention in question seeks to identify and intervene in risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the elderly population assisted in the FHS St. Anthony Bridge, located in the city of Itajubá, MG. Systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, physical inactivity, obesity and overweight are risk factors that can be controlled and modified, and may thus prevent cardiovascular disease and its complications. With control of these risk factors, there is a reduction in the number of affected by cardiovascular diseases responsible for the high mortality rate as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), congestive heart failure (CHF), Chronic Kidney Disease , among others. In most cases, risk factors for CVD are poorly controlled by non-adherence to treatment both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, inadequate treatment, the disease itself ignorance and its consequences, among others. To this end, we made a review of the recent publications of literature decade, the Virtual Health Library, the Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information, the International Literature on Health Sciences, the Scientific Electronic Library Online Virtual Library and Education Center in Public Health. Knowing the great morbidity and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases, an action plan was proposed with a view to better control of those conditions, through the patient's awareness, the family and the health team, in order to provide better guidelines and conditions for treatment, change in lifestyle, ensuring improvements in health and quality of life of these patients
