Fundamento. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la efectividad de intervenciones no farmacológicas para la prevención de eventos relacionados con enfermedad cardiovascular (CVD), y mortalidad en adultos sanos o con alto riesgo de CVD.Método. Revisión de revisiones sobre prevención primaria de intervenciones no farmacológicas en las bases de datos de PubMed Health, Effective Health Care Program AHRQ, McMaster University and the Cochrane Plus hasta Julio de 2017. Los resultados primarios fueron el riesgo relativo de eventos CVD, fatales y no fatales, y de mortalidad; los efectos adversos fueron los eventos secundarios.Resultados. Se incluyeron veinticuatro revisiones, de las cuales trece informan resultados de interés. Cuatro observaron una reducción significativa del riesgo: suplementación de vitamina D, incremento del consumo de ácidos grasos omega 3, Qigong, y educación para la modificación de factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Siete revisiones informaron sobre eventos adversos menores y/o no significativos respecto del grupo control.Conclusiones. Cuatro intervenciones no farmacológicas son las que muestran una reducción estadísticamente significativa en eventos CVD o mortalidad total, con escasos o nulos efectos adversos. Se requiere de una investigación de mayor calidad metodológica y de mayor seguimiento de las intervenciones para establecer si estas, combinadas o por separado, conducen a claros beneficios en salud a largo plazo. Palabras clave. Cardiovascular. Intervención no-prescrita. Revisión de revisiones. Revisiones sistemáticas y meta-análisis.
Background. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality in healthy adults or those at high risk of CVD. Methods. An umbrella review about primary prevention of non-pharmacological interventions was undertaken in key databases as PubMed Health, Effective Health Care Program AHRQ, McMaster University and the Cochrane Plus until July 2017. The primary outcomes were the relative risk of fatal and non-fatal CVD events, and mortality. Secondary outcomes were adverse events.Results. Twenty-four reviews were included of which thirteen reported outcomes of interest. Four of these found a pooled statistically significant risk reduction: dietary supplements of vitamin D, increased consumption of omega 3 fatty acids, Qigong, and counselling or education to modify more than one cardiovascular risk factor. Seven studies reported adverse events but minor or insignificant with respect to the control group.Conclusions. Four non-pharmacological interventions have been shown to provide a statistically significant reduction in risk of CVD events or overall mortality, with minor adverse events if any. Further research should aim for higher methodological quality and longer follow-up of interventions to establish if these interventions, alone or in combination, translate into definite long-term health benefits.Keywords. Cardiovascular. Non-prescription intervention. Umbrella review. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
