“…Dentre os fatores de risco, a hipertensão arterial foi o mais associado ao IAM, com elevada significância estatística (p≤0,001) (KIM et al, 2016;PATNAIK et al, 2016;LAWESSON et al, 2018;JING FANG et al, 2019;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;TISMINETZKY et al, 2020;LUAN et al, 2021), enquanto a dislipidemia apresentou prevalência secundária (KIM et al, 2016;JING FANG et al, 2019;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;TISMINETZKY et al, 2020) e a diabetes mellitus foi evidenciada como terceiro fator de risco mais presente (KIM et al, 2016;LAWESSON et al, 2018JING FANG et al, 2019ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;TISMINETZKY et al, 2020). Isso posto, é inescusável propor ações educativas com foco na prevenção ao IAM, sobretudo entre os hipertensos, haja vista o risco acentuado para comorbidades cardiovasculares.…”

“…Diante dos estudos analisados, averiguou-se que a dor no peito foi o sintoma mais reconhecido por leigos (KIM et al, 2016;PATNAIK et al, 2016;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;LUAN et al, 2021). O segundo sintoma mais associado ao IAM foi a falta de ar (dispneia), com percentual de reconhecimento acima de 65% pelos entrevistados (KIM et al, 2016;PATNAIK et al, 2016;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;LUAN et al, 2021).…”

“…Somou-se a esses a dor no braço ou ombros, com índices díspares entre os estudos (KIM et al, 2016;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;LUAN et al, 2021). Nesse sentido, constatase que as pessoas reconhecem o sintoma de "dor ou desconforto no peito" como associado ao IAM.…”

“…No tocante à variável sexo, averiguou-se elevado índice de reconhecimento da sintomatologia da doença por mulheres (KIM et al, 2016;JING FANG et al, 2019;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020;LUAN et al, 2021), com exceção dos sintomas: dor na mandíbula, pescoço ou costas, que foram mais bem reconhecidos pelo sexo masculino (KIM et al, 2016). A partir disso, percebe-se que, embora haja maior letalidade do IAM entre homens, o reconhecimento dos sinais e sintomas foi maior pelo sexo feminino.…”

“…Notabilizou-se, ainda, que o reconhecimento dos sinais e sintomas também varia de acordo com a escolaridade e a renda. Os melhores índices de conhecimento acerca da sintomatologia do IAM foram evidenciados entre pessoas com maior grau de escolaridade (KIM et al, 2016;JING FANG et al, 2019;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020) e maior renda (KIM et al, 2016;PATNAIK et al, 2016;ABDO AHMED et al, 2020). Portanto, acredita-se que a educação e os fatores socioeconômicos são preditores da conscientização e reconhecimento da sintomatologia do IAM por leigos.…”

RESUMOO Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio é uma doença isquêmica de apresentação frequente na população, responsável por elevada mortalidade e despesa no setor saúde. Nesse sentido, é oportuno que leigos conheçam os seus sinais e sintomas, a fim de realizar o manejo adequado dos acometidos pela doença. O objetivo do estudo foi revisar, com base na literatura científica, os principais sinais e sintomas do Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio e o nível de reconhecimento destes pela população. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases e bancos de dados Medline, Lilacs, Science Direct e Embase, mediada pelos descritores: "Sinais e Sintomas", "Identificação da Emergência" e "Infarto

Background Knowledge of the predisposing risk factors and prompt recognition of the warning signs for heart attack and stroke is fundamental in modification of lifestyle behaviors and an imperative precursor to health-seeking behavior. In view of an existing knowledge gap amidst increasing incidence of heart attack and stroke in Tanzania, we conducted this community-based cross-sectional study among residents of Dar es Salaam city. Results A total of 1759 respondents were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 45.4 years, females constituted over a half of participants and over two-thirds had attained at least secondary school education. Regarding risk factors, just over 2% of participants displayed satisfactory awareness and only stress was recognized by at least half of participants. With regard to warning signs, barely 1% of participants had satisfactory knowledge for either of the conditions while nearly three-quarters of participants failed to mention even a single warning sign for heart attack. Recognized by about two-thirds of respondents, sudden numbness or weakness in face, arm or leg was the most acknowledged stroke symptom; however, other symptoms were familiar to less than a third of participants. Although over a half of respondents acknowledged going to a hospital as their first resort, over one-tenth of respondents expressed inappropriate reactions towards heart attack and stroke victims. Old age, higher level of education, positive history of heart attack or stroke, high blood pressure and history of dyslipidemia showed association with both risk factors and warning signs knowledge during bivariate analyses. Conclusions Public knowledge of common risk factors and typical warning signs for heart attack and stroke was critically suboptimal. These findings herald an utmost need for public health efforts to increase community awareness of risk factors and typical signs of the two conditions to curb the rising prevalence and associated morbimortality.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a group of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, and it is the leading cause of death globally. In Indonesia, Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the most prevalent CVDs. However, due to the high cost of drugs, lengthy treatment duration, and various supporting examinations required, treating CHD can be very expensive. An obstacle to treating heart disease in Indonesia is the insufficient number of cardiologists and experts experienced in interventional cardiology. Along with technological developments, the computer science community is encouraged to contribute to the medical field. For instance, using an electrocardiogram (ECG) can help prevent and minimize problems arising from heart disease. An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a medical test that measures and records the heart’s electrical activity using a machine that detects electrical impulses. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in ECG is rapidly increasing and has shown to have great potential in improving the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. AI has become a valuable tool in helping doctors diagnose, predict risk, and manage heart disease with greater accuracy, speed, and precision. One of the machine learning methods used in this research is the decision tree method, which is often employed to make decisions. The decision tree method exhibited promising results, with an accuracy rate of 99% in identifying heart defects at an early stage. This method has significant potential to assist doctors in diagnosing heart defects at an early stage with high accuracy.
