Objective: To determine the factors associated with cardiovascular risk in patients of the HSEB Department of Medicine. Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study, included 83 probabilistically chosen patients from a universe of 105 hospitalized from the HSEB Department of Medicine. For the calculation, OpenEpi version 3 and Microsoft Excel 2010 were used and in the analysis and interpretation of the data, graphs and tables of relative and absolute frequencies were used. Results:53% were women and the average age was 54.5 years. The frequency of main risk factors was: Overweight 30.1%, obesity 13.3%, the Ci / Ca index very high in women 54.2%, family history of AMI 38.5% and HTA 34.6%, DM2 65.5%, High Cholesterol 34.4% , HTA 21.7% of these 73.9% were controlled, classified and were optimal 21.7% and Normal-High 34.8, also sedentary lifestyle 50%, carbohydr...
