          Abstract

          Resumo Fundamento Insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma das principais causas de mortalidade e morbidade no mundo, e está associada ao alto uso de recursos e custos com saúde. No Brasil, a prevalência de IC é de aproximadamente 2 milhões de pacientes, e sua incidência é de aproximadamente 240.000 novos casos por ano. Objetivo A investigação objetivou analisar a tendência espaço-temporal da mortalidade causada por IC no Brasil, de 1996 a 2017. Métodos Este é um estudo ecológico desenvolvido com dados secundários sobre mortalidade por IC no Brasil. Durante o período, 1.242.014 casos de morte causada por IC foram analisados. A existência da autocorrelação espacial de casos foi calculada utilizando o Índice de Moran Global (IMG) e, quando significativo, o Índice de Moran Local, considerando p <0,05. O risco relativo dos grupos foi calculado. Resultados A taxa de mortalidade causada por IC foi diversificada em regiões brasileiras, com ênfase no sul, sudeste e nordeste. O IMG indicou autocorrelação espacial positiva (p=0,01) em todos os períodos. Cidades localizadas no sul, sudeste, nordeste e centro-oeste mostraram maior risco relativo para mortalidade causada por IC, e a maioria das cidades do norte foi classificada como um fator protetivo contra esta causa de morte. Conclusões O estudo demonstrou declínio nas taxas de mortalidade no território nacional. A maior concentração de taxas de mortalidade está nas regiões norte e nordeste, enfatizando as áreas prioritárias de vulnerabilidade no planejamento e estratégias de controle de serviços de saúde.

          Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, and is associated with the high use of resources and healthcare costs. In Brazil, the HF prevalence is around 2 million patients, and its incidence is of approximately 240,000 new cases per year. Objective The present investigation aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal trend of mortality caused by HF in Brazil, from 1996 to 2017. Methods This is an ecological study developed with secondary data on HF mortality in Brazil. During the period, 1,242,014 cases of death caused by heart failure were analyzed. The existence of spatial autocorrelation of cases was calculated using the Global Moran Index (GMI) and, when significant, the Local Moran Index, considering p<0.05. The relative risk of the clusters was calculated. Results The mortality rate due to HF was diversified in all Brazilian regions, with an emphasis in the South, Southeast, and Northeast. The GMI indicated positive spatial autocorrelation (p=0.01) in all periods. Municipalities located in the South, Southeast, Northeast, and Midwest showed a higher Relative Risk for mortality from HF, and most municipalities in the North were classified as a protective factor against this cause of death. Conclusions The study showed a decline in mortality rates across the national territory. The highest concentration of mortality rates is in the North and Northeast regions, highlighting priority vulnerable areas in the planning and controlling strategies of health services.

            Cardiovascular Health in Brazil: Trends and Perspectives.

            Brazil is a large country, with an evolving economy, but marked social inequalities. The population is formed by an admixture of native Brazilians, Europeans, and Africans; is predominantly urban; and faces rapid aging. Time trends related to health behaviors show a substantial reduction in smoking rates, but a rising prevalence of overweight and obesity, unhealthy eating habits, and insufficient physical activity. The high prevalence of hypertension and the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus are also causes for concern. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the leading cause of mortality since the 1960s and has accounted for a substantial percentage of all hospitalizations. In 2011, CVD was responsible for 31% of all deaths, with ischemic heart disease (31%) and cerebrovascular diseases (30%) being the leading CVD causes. Despite an increase in the overall number of CVD deaths, the age-adjusted mortality rates for CVD declined 24% between 2000 and 2011. Health care delivered by Brazil's universal public health system, which focuses on primary prevention, has contributed to this achievement. However, the decline in age-adjusted mortality differs according to race, sex, and socioeconomic status with black individuals and lower-income populations sustaining the greatest impact of CVD, especially at younger ages. With one of the world's largest public health systems in terms of population coverage, Brazil has the means to implement actions to confront the high burden of CVD, focusing on health promotion and comprehensive care. Insufficient funding, low education levels, and social inequalities remain as the main barriers to be overcome.

              I Brazilian Registry of Heart Failure - Clinical Aspects, Care Quality and Hospitalization Outcomes

              Background Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in adults in Brazil. However, most of the available data is limited to unicenter registries. The BREATHE registry is the first to include a large sample of hospitalized patients with decompensated HF from different regions in Brazil. Objective Describe the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis of hospitalized patients admitted with acute HF. Methods Observational registry study with longitudinal follow-up. The eligibility criteria included patients older than 18 years with a definitive diagnosis of HF, admitted to public or private hospitals. Assessed outcomes included the causes of decompensation, use of medications, care quality indicators, hemodynamic profile and intrahospital events. Results A total of 1,263 patients (64±16 years, 60% women) were included from 51 centers from different regions in Brazil. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (70.8%), dyslipidemia (36.7%) and diabetes (34%). Around 40% of the patients had normal left ventricular systolic function and most were admitted with a wet-warm clinical-hemodynamic profile. Vasodilators and intravenous inotropes were used in less than 15% of the studied cohort. Care quality indicators based on hospital discharge recommendations were reached in less than 65% of the patients. Intrahospital mortality affected 12.6% of all patients included. Conclusion The BREATHE study demonstrated the high intrahospital mortality of patients admitted with acute HF in Brazil, in addition to the low rate of prescription of drugs based on evidence.
