El consumo de tabaco tiene consecuencias adversas en la salud cardiovascular y representa un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial que demanda atención integral. Se realizó una revisión sistemática en PubMed de la literatura concerniente al impacto del tabaquismo sobre la salud cardiovascular reportada en metaanálisis publicados en los últimos 10 años. Doce estudios determinaron una asociación significativa entre el tabaquismo y la incidencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares, de los cuales seis demostraron una disminución importante de la morbimortalidad tras la implementación de políticas para el control del tabaco. Es necesario fortalecer las acciones de los gobiernos y los profesionales de la salud para disminuir la prevalencia de consumo de tabaco y proteger a la población general de las enfermedades asociadas con este producto, que afectan a todo el cuerpo y que tienden a generar enfermos con múltiples comorbilidades que se tienen que investigar.
PALABRAS CLAVE
Tabaquismo, enfermedad cardiovascula, legislación para control de tabaco.
