Coronary and extra-coronary atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and permanent disability in Western countries. This condition begins with endothelial dysfunction and subsequently progresses with the development of fibrolipidic plaques and complicated lesions affecting the arterial vessels, which cause the onset of clinical pictures such as acute myocardial infarction, acute cerebrovascular events and, finally, heart failure. Unlike family history, age and sex, which are not modifiable, smoking, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension and a sedentary lifestyle are all factors that can be corrected.
