Guidelines for research work on sudden cardiac death: A Cuban proposal

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen actualmente la causa más frecuente de muerte prematura e invalidez en el mundo y las proyecciones futuras indican que debe seguir siendo la primera causa en los países industrializados. En Cuba existe un subregistro estadístico de esta enfermedad y a partir de las estimaciones realizadas se prevé una tasa específica de fallecimiento inesperado de 105,2 por cada 100 mil habitantes, lo que equivale aproximadamente al 12,3% de las muertes naturales (un episodio cada 45 minutos). En la mayoría de las naciones, la ausencia de protocolos, directrices, guías y algoritmos diagnósticos, que orienten metodológicamente la recogida de los datos, resulta una importante limitante; además, la no estandarización de criterios, en los países donde existen guías para su estudio, contribuye a las diferencias observadas en los informes actuales de series individuales. Por estas razones se presenta una guía para trabajos de investigación sobre muerte súbita cardiovascular, que muestra la sistemática a desarrollar y contiene las principales variables (estudios necrópsicos e investigaciones complementarias), para ser empleada en los trabajos de investigación sobre esta enfermedad en Cuba. Ello permitirá contar con el dato para el registro de la muerte súbita y de las enfermedades que la provocan (cuando se puedan identificar), sin que se produzca otro tipo de subregistro

Heart diseases are nowadays the most frequent cause of premature death and disability in the world and future projections indicate that it should continue to be the leading cause in industrialized countries. There is a statistical underregistration of this disease in Cuba and from the existing estimates, a specific unexpected death rate of 105.2 per 100 thousand inhabitants is expected, equivalent to nearly 12.3% of natural deaths (one episode each 45 minutes). In most nations, the absence of protocols, strategies, guidelines and diagnostic algorithms, which methodologically guide data collection, remains an important limitation. Moreover, the non-standardization of criteria, in countries where there are guidelines for their study, contributes to the differences observed in the current reports of individual series. Hence practice guidelines for research work on sudden cardiac death are presented; showing the systematics to be developed and containing the main variables (necropsy studies and complementary investigation), to be used for research work on this disease in Cuba. This will allow data recording of sudden death and diseases that cause it (when they can be identified), with no other type of under-reporting
