Resumen
OCHOA MONTES, Luis Alberto y LOS MIEMBROS DEL GRUPO DE INVESTIGACION EN MUERTE SUBITA (GIMUS) et al. Tools for the study of sudden cardiovascular death. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2021, vol.40, n.3 Epub 01-Sep-2021. ISSN 1561-3011.
Introduction:
Half of all cardiovascular deaths are due to sudden cardiovascular death, one of the manifestations with the greatest impact and significance in the realm of ischemic heart disease.
Objective:
Describe the Diagnostic Algorithm and the Primary Data Collection Model used as tools to study sudden cardiovascular death in Cuba.
Methods:
A presentation is made of a Diagnostic Algorithm for the study of sudden cardiovascular death cases accompanied by the corresponding methodology, and a Primary Data Collection Model with the main sociodemographic, clinical and anatomopathological variables.
Results:
The Sudden Death Research Team has used the Diagnostic Algorithm and Primary Data Collection Model herein presented as a scientific research tool for a period of 25 years (1995-2020). Of the 33 718 deaths by natural causes studied with these tools, 2 252 have been sudden, representing 6.6% of the overall mortality recorded.
Conclusions:
Research teams should have access to tools for the conduct of population studies about sudden cardiovascular death, considering that 90% of the events recorded annually occur in this risk group.
