Epidemiological Profile and Quality Indicators in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome in Northern Minas Gerais - Minas Telecardio 2 Project

Abstract: Background:Coronary artery disease is the main cause of death in Brazil. In the Brazilian public health system, the in-hospital mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction is high. The Minas Telecardio 2 Project (Projeto Minas Telecardio 2) aims at implementing a myocardial infarction system of care in the Northern Region of Minas Gerais (MG) to decrease hospital morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to describe the profile of the patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cared for in … Show more

“…Chest pain was not manifested in 12.6% of them; this may also resulted in delayed initiation of these dual anti-platelet therapies, since chest pain is cardinal symptom of ACS [28]. Comparably, the present finding was lower than studies from Greece [38], aspirin and clopidogrel were used in 97% and 93% patients and in Brazil [39], aspirin and clopidogrel were prescribed in 95% and 88.7% patients, respectively. In the present study, in-hospital mortality due to ACS was 24.5%, where majorities (67.5%) of them were due to STEMI, followed by NSTEMI (24.3%) and then UA (8.1%).…”

“…A maioria dos indivíduos deste estudo possuía diagnóstico prévio de AI (74%), concordando com o estudo de Marino et al 16 Este achado pode ser explicado pela maior prevalência e menor morbimortalidade da AI em comparação ao IAM e pela baixa complexidade do local de estudo. Pesquisas realizadas em centros de Cardiologia de alta complexidade, em geral, evidenciam maior prevalência de IAM em suas amostras.…”

“…Participantes segundo a caracterização clínica da doença arterial coronariana e referência de fatores de risco cardiovascular. A média de idade foi de 63 anos, concordando com as literaturas nacional e internacional, [9][10][11][12]16,17 revelando uma população com tendência a apresentar DAC em idade precoce, confirmando a característica da prematuridade dessa doença em países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil. 3,11 Segundo Finegold et al, 3 a mortalidade prematura (antes dos 60 anos) por DAC é considerável, e as taxas de mortalidade da população economicamente ativa são maiores em países subdesenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento do que em países de primeiro mundo, o que comprova que o manejo da DAC é um desafio principalmente nos países não desenvolvidos.…”
