  <body>
    <p>As doen&#231;as cardiovasculares, incluindo o infarto agudo do mioc&#225;rdio (IAM), representam importante problema de sa&#250;de p&#250;blica no Brasil e no mundo, com elevadas taxas de incid&#234;ncia e mortalidade.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> A taxa de mortalidade brasileira por esse grupo de causas (183,3/100.000)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> encontra-se entre as maiores do mundo e &#233; semelhante &#224; de pa&#237;ses como a China e do Leste Europeu.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
    <p>A institui&#231;&#227;o de pol&#237;ticas de promo&#231;&#227;o de sa&#250;de, diagn&#243;stico precoce e tratamento efetivo est&#227;o entre as mais importantes estrat&#233;gias de preven&#231;&#227;o e tratamento dessas doen&#231;as, que ainda correspondem &#224; principal causa de mortalidade em todo o mundo em pacientes adultos. Por&#233;m, o reconhecimento bem como a mensura&#231;&#227;o real e efetiva dessas doen&#231;as ainda est&#227;o dentre as estrat&#233;gias a serem otimizadas no nosso meio.</p>
    <p>Assim, faz-se necess&#225;rio conhecer e quantificar efetivamente os pacientes com diagn&#243;stico de IAM para que medidas efetivas e assertivas possam ser tomadas na tentativa de reduzir sua morbimortalidade. Uma das maneiras mais conhecidas para esse tipo de mensura&#231;&#227;o consiste na elabora&#231;&#227;o de um banco de dados representativo e de f&#225;cil acesso e interpreta&#231;&#227;o. Ainda assim, esbarramos em mais um problema, que consiste em como faz&#234;-lo e implement&#225;-lo. Boa parte dessas quest&#245;es foram respondidas elegantemente no artigo elaborado por Vaz et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> intitulado: &#8220;Cria&#231;&#227;o e Implementa&#231;&#227;o de um Banco de Dados Prospectivo e Multic&#234;ntrico de Paciente com Infarto Agudo do Mioc&#225;rdio: RIAM&#8221;.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> A descri&#231;&#227;o clara e objetiva do passo a passo para a cria&#231;&#227;o, implementa&#231;&#227;o e expans&#227;o desse banco de dados constitui literatura rara e imperd&#237;vel para todos os envolvidos na abordagem dessas patologias.</p>
    <p>A possibilidade de termos acesso a informa&#231;&#245;es geradas por bancos de dados bem desenhados e confi&#225;veis oferece uma fotografia mais pr&#243;xima da nossa realidade, aumentando a efic&#225;cia na tomada de decis&#245;es e tornando a gest&#227;o financeira mais eficiente, o que &#233; crucial para nossas pol&#237;ticas de sa&#250;de p&#250;blica.</p>

      <p>Cardiovascular diseases, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), represent a major public health issue in Brazil and worldwide, with elevated incidence and mortality rates.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> The rates of Brazilian mortality for this group of causes (183.3/100,000)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> are amongst the highest in the world and is similar to that of countries such as China and areas such as the east of Europe.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup></p>
      <p>The implementation of health promotion policies, early diagnosis and effective treatment are some of the most important prevention and treatment strategies for these diseases, which remain the leading cause of mortality among adult patients globally. However, the recognition of these diseases, as well as their real and effective measurements, are among the strategies that must be optimized in our field.</p>
      <p>Thus, it is necessary to effectively identify and quantify patients with a diagnosis of AMI so that effective and assertive measures can be taken in an attempt to reduce their morbidity and mortality. One of the best-known measurement techniques is the creation of a representative database that can be easily accessed and interpreted. But here we run into yet another problem: how to create and implement it. Much of these questions were elegantly answered by Vaz J. et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> in their article entitled: &#8220;Cria&#231;&#227;o e Implementa&#231;&#227;o de um Banco de Dados Prospectivo e Multic&#234;ntrico de Paciente com Infarto Agudo do Mioc&#225;rdio: RIAM&#8221; (&#8220;Creation and Implementation of a Prospective Multicenter Registry of Acute Myocardial Infarction: RIAM&#8221;).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> The clear and objective description of the steps required to create, implement and expand these databases provides a unique and unmissable literature for all involved in the approach of these pathologies.</p>
      <p>The possibility of having access to information generated by well-designed and reliable databases provides a framework closer to Brazilian reality, increasing decision-making efficacy and improving financial management, which is of paramount importance for public health policies.</p>
