Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia y el impacto de la apatía en pacientes con enfermedad de Huntington, considerando la gravedad de los síntomas, los factores asociados y las implicaciones para la calidad de vida y el funcionamiento diario. Métodos: Revisión integrativa en la base de datos PubMed utilizando la estrategia de búsqueda (Apathy) AND ("Huntington Disease"[MeSH]), abarcando el periodo de 2018 a 2023. Se encontraron 65 artículos, de los cuales, 14 se consideraron relevantes. Resultados: La enfermedad de Huntington (EH) se manifiesta a través de déficits motores, cognitivos y síntomas neuropsiquiátricos, siendo la apatía el síntoma más prevalente y uno de los últimos en aparecer. Al ser uno de los últimos síntomas en aparecer, la apatía puede relacionarse con la evolución y estadiaje de la enfermedad. Consideraciones finales: Existen escasos estudios que validen tratamientos específicos eficaces para la EH. Sin embargo, dada la importancia de la funcionalidad en la calidad de vida e integración social de estos pacientes, así como en la alteración de la trayectoria de la enfermedad, un tratamiento y manejo adecuados pueden mejorar el pronóstico del paciente.
