[Epidemiology the coronary syndromes].

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Public Health
• Epidemiology

Context:

• Acute Coronary Ischemic Syndrome (ACIS) represents a major global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality.
• Approximately 1% of the world's population is affected by ACIS, with cardiac complications leading to a substantial portion of global deaths.
• In the USA, 85% of individuals diagnosed with ACIS are identified within a population of 1 million.

Purpose:

• To highlight the global public health burden of Acute Coronary Ischemic Syndrome (ACIS).
• To present epidemiological data on ACIS incidence and mortality across different regions, including Spain and Mexico.
• To underscore the importance of registries like RENASICA in understanding coronary illness.

Summary:

• ACIS affects 1% of the global population, causing significant cardiac mortality.
• Spain reports 98,000 new ACIS cases annually, with distinct figures for ST-segment elevation and non-ST-segment elevation.
• In Mexico, ACIS is the leading cause of death, with 98,941 deaths recorded in 2001, as documented by the National Registry of Acute Coronary Syndrome (RENASICA).

Impact:

• Provides critical data for public health policy and resource allocation in cardiovascular disease prevention.
• Emphasizes the need for continued research and improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for ACIS.
• Highlights the role of national registries in tracking and understanding the dynamics of coronary syndromes.
