Cardiovascular diseases are the group of conditions produced in the heart or blood vessels. This is one of the main causes of death in Peru and the world, produced mostly by noncommunicable diseases and harmful habits, which makes it an extremely predictable disease. These factors include body mass index, smoking, diabetes, age, blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins. Therefore, this study aims to identify patients who go to the medical office of a private health center in North Lima who do not have a prior history of a cardiovascular accident, using the cardiovascular risk calculator provided by the Organization World Health. The present research work had a quantitative, non-experimental, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach, in a population of 99 adult and elderly patients. Regarding the results, it was found that 46.5% presented a low cardiovascular risk, 37.4% a moderate risk, 11.1% a high risk and 5.1% an extremely high risk. The information found contrasts with the number of deaths caused by this disease and may be an indicator of greater prevention by populations with higher economic income. Finally, it is concluded that diabetes, smoking and the age group are predisposing factors to an increased cardiovascular risk.
