Abstract
Introduction

To determinate the etiology and risk factors for a first episode of cerebral ischemia in young adults at three hospitals of Lima and Callao-Peru.

Methods

Multicentric study carried out at three national hospitals in Lima. The sample included 30 patients with a first episode of stroke and 60 controls matched by age and sex 2:1 with the patients. Serum biochemistry studies, EKGs and echocardiograms were done. Etiologies were classified based on the classification of Baltimore-Washington Cooperative Young Stroke Study.

Results

The most frequent etiologies were cardiac embolism and atherosclerotic valvular heart disease, which were 30% of the cases (9 patients) each one. Hypertriglyceridemia (p=0.014), valvular heart disease (p=0.001) and hormonal contraception/replacement therapy (p=0.002) were independent risk factors for a first episode of cerebral ischemia in peruvian young adults. Motor deficiency was the most frequent presentation (50.0%). Intracraneal hypertension and urinary tract infection were the most frequent complications during acute ischemia and mortality was raised up to 10%.

Conclusions

The hypertriglyceridemia, valvular heart disease and the use of oral contraceptives are independent risk factors for a first episode of ischemia in young adults from three hospitals of Lima and Callao. The most frequent etiologies were cardiac embolism and atheroesclerotic valvular heart disease.

Resumen
Introducción

Determinar la etiología y factores de riesgo para un primer episodio de isquemia cerebral en adultos jóvenes de tres hospitales de Lima y Callao-Perú.

Métodos

Estudio de casos y controles, multicéntrico realizado en el Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo, Hospital Nacional Daniel Alcides Carrión y Hospital EsSalud Alberto Sabogal Sologuren. La muestra estuvo constituida por 30 pacientes con un primer episodio de enfermedad cerebrovascular y 60 controles pareados por edad y sexo 2:1 con los pacientes. A todos se les realizó estudios de bioquímica sérica y evaluación cardiovascular (electrocardiograma y ecocardiografía). Las etiologías fueron clasificadas de acuerdo a la clasificación de Baltimore-Washington Cooperative Young Stroke Study.

Resultados

Las etiologías más frecuentes fueron el cardioembolismo y la vasculopatía aterosclerótica con un 30% de casos (9 pacientes) cada uno. Los factores de riesgo independientes para un primer episodio de isquemia cerebral fueron la hipertrigliceridemia (p=0,014), la enfermedad valvular cardiaca (p=0,001) y la anticoncepción/reemplazo hormonal (p=0,002). El déficit motor fue la forma de presentación más frecuente (50,0%); la hipertensión endocraneana y la infección del tracto urinario fueron las principales complicaciones durante el episodio agudo y la mortalidad fue del 10%.

Conclusiones

La hipertrigliceridemia, enfermedad valvular cardiaca y el uso de anticonceptivos/reemplazo hormonal constituyen factores de riesgo independientes para un primer episodio de isquemia en adultos jóvenes de tres hospitales de Lima y Callao, siendo las etiologías más frecuentes el cardioembolismo y la vasculopatía aterosclerótica.
