DURAN, Álvaro E et al. Study of cardiovascular risk in infancy through a clinical-investigative model. Rev. Col. Cardiol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.2, pp.128-131. ISSN 0120-5633.

Antecedents: since 2004, the Pediatric Area of Research from the Colombian Cardiovascular Foundation has developed the investigation line: cardiovascular risk factors in infancy, through a clinical-investigative model. Objective: to describe the Colombian Cardiovascular Foundation experience in the development of clinical-investigative activities oriented to the study and primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Method: does not apply. Results: do not apply. Conclusions: several investigative activities have been developed based on this model, tending to quantify the magnitude of the problem represented by these risk factors in the pediatric population of Bucaramanga, passing from screening studies to population-based studies, allowing by its results the creation of clinical and communitarian programs focused in the awareness of the general population and the prevention and opportune intervention of cardiovascular diseases.

Keywords : cardiovascular risk factors; pediatrics; population-based studies.
