RESUMOObjetivo: descrever a mortalidade por infarto agudo do miocárdio. Método: estudo quantitativo, descritivo, exploratório, ecológico de série temporal, com a população de 30 a 59 anos de idade nas regiões do Brasil, no período de 2008 a 2016, de acordo com dados no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde. Resultados: verificou-se elevadas taxas de mortalidade por infarto agudo do miocárdio em homens e mulheres entre 30 e 59 anos. A região Sudeste com maior percentual de óbitos (47,9%), a Nordeste vem em seguida (20,2%), a região Sul com 14,8%, Centro-Oeste 9,1% e a Norte com 8%. Conclusão: os resultados mostram elevadas taxas de mortalidade por infarto agudo do miocárdio em homens e mulheres nas faixas etárias entre 30 e 59 anos revelando a região Sudeste com maior percentual (47,9%), liderando todas as regiões e faixas etárias. Conclui-se que o infarto agudo do miocárdio é uma doença desencadeada por fatores intrínsecos e que estes fatores podem ser modificados a partir de programas e medidas preventivas. Descritores: Cardiopatias Congênitas; Infarto do Miocárdio; Cardiopatia Chagásica; Doença Crônica; Dor no Peito; Fibrilação Ventricular.ABSTRACTObjective: To describe mortality due to an acute myocardial infarction.

Fatores relacionados ao desenvolvimento de úlceras em pacientes com Diabetes Mellitus ABSTRACTObjective: To identify factors related to the development of ulcers in the lower limbs of insulin-dependent users residing in the city of São José de Mipibu/RN. Method: Quantitative research; we obtained data thought interview followed by static inspection and application of Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments to assess the threshold of plantar tactile sensitivity. The Ethics Committee of the Potiguar University of Natal/RN approved this research, under the Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Consideration number 0037.0.052.000-11. Results: The age range was 21-72 years old; 68.4% were female; 63.3% were living in urban areas. We can highlight as factors related to development of ulcers in the lower limbs: sedentary lifestyle (71.6%), hypertension (65%) and a history of cardiovascular disease (56.7%). In the evaluation of the feet, 26.7% had dry skin; 15% had scaly skin; 38.3%, farinaceous nails; 30%, thickened nails and 35%, dermatitis. Regarding the tactile sensitivity, 18.3% had anesthesia of the affected limb. Conclusion: The data suggests that this population is likely to develop more severe and disabling complications of Diabetes Mellitus.Descriptors: Nursing; Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetic Foot.
