    <p>O grupo de doen&#231;as cardiovasculares (DCV) agrega as principais causas de morte no Brasil e no conjunto dos pa&#237;ses em desenvolvimento.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> A doen&#231;a isqu&#234;mica do cora&#231;&#227;o (DIC) ou doen&#231;a arterial coronariana (DAC) tem sido por muitos anos a principal causa de morte na popula&#231;&#227;o brasileira,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> com exce&#231;&#227;o do ano de 2020,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> quando a doen&#231;a causada pelo novo coronav&#237;rus (COVID-19) foi a primeira causa de morte, seguida pela DIC. A DIC foi a principal causa de anos de vida perdidos na popula&#231;&#227;o brasileira em 2016.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Em 2017, foi estimada uma preval&#234;ncia de DAC de 1,75% (2.500.000 de indiv&#237;duos), na popula&#231;&#227;o brasileira maior que 20 anos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> As maiores preval&#234;ncias estavam nas regi&#245;es Sul e Sudeste, com taxa de mortalidade padronizada decrescente, mas com aumento da preval&#234;ncia desde 1990.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> Com estimativa de incid&#234;ncia de cerca de 121 mil casos por ano<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> em 2017, a DAC tem sido um importante problema de sa&#250;de p&#250;blica no pa&#237;s.</p>
    <p>O estudo ERICO,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> coorte de pacientes com epis&#243;dio de s&#237;ndrome coron&#225;ria aguda (SCA) atendidos em um hospital secund&#225;rio, entre outros estudos, &#233; pe&#231;a importante na produ&#231;&#227;o do conhecimento sobre progn&#243;stico de curto e longo prazos de pacientes em cuidado secund&#225;rio e DCA.</p>
    <p>Uma pergunta que est&#225; presente diante dos pacientes com SCA &#233; qual a melhor interven&#231;&#227;o, quais as evid&#234;ncias, qual o progn&#243;stico. Como informar aos pacientes e as fam&#237;lias sobre as chances da sobrevida de longo prazo se ainda n&#227;o h&#225; um conhecimento consolidado, muitas quest&#245;es ainda n&#227;o respondidas para a realidade brasileira, como, por exemplo, impacto dos determinantes sociais<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> no progn&#243;stico. Quais as evid&#234;ncias sobre o melhor tratamento?</p>
    <p>A estat&#237;stica cardiovascular<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> publicada em 2020 revelou que &#8220;<italic>foram realizadas 78.575 angioplastias coron&#225;rias pelo SUS em 2018, com mortalidade hospitalar de 2,96% e m&#233;dia de perman&#234;ncia hospitalar de 4,5 dias</italic>&#8221;. Com esse n&#250;mero de angioplastias, a possibilidade de uso das melhores evid&#234;ncias para informar sobre o melhor cuidado e procedimentos, aumentam as chances de beneficiar n&#227;o somente o paciente indiv&#237;duo, mas principalmente, os milhares de doentes com SCA incidente, reduzindo a mortalidade populacional e melhorando a qualidade de vida. 10% das hospitaliza&#231;&#245;es<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> no SUS foram por DCV em 2019.</p>
    <p>O uso da tecnologia para o diagn&#243;stico e tratamento durante uma manifesta&#231;&#227;o aguda da doen&#231;a (particularmente acidente vascular cerebral ou infarto agudo do mioc&#225;rdio [IAM]) foi fundamental em muitos pa&#237;ses para redu&#231;&#227;o de mortes e prolongamento da vida quando a DCV se manifesta.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Cristina-Bruno et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> revelam no artigo que &#8220;<italic>n&#227;o s&#243; os pacientes com doen&#231;a de m&#250;ltiplos vasos como tamb&#233;m os com doen&#231;a de um vaso tiveram alto risco de mortalidade no longo prazo p&#243;s-SCA. Esses achados destacam a import&#226;ncia de se ter uma abordagem melhor no tratamento e no controle de FRC, mesmo em indiv&#237;duos com risco aparentemente baixo, atendidos em cuidado secund&#225;rio</italic>&#8221;.</p>
    <p>O surgimento e o r&#225;pido crescimento de fatores de risco cardiovascular (FRC) em pa&#237;ses em desenvolvimento s&#227;o respons&#225;veis pelo forte aumento na morbidade/mortalidade relacionada a DIC nas &#250;ltimas d&#233;cadas, trazendo a necessidade de um plano de controle epidemiol&#243;gico destinado a prevenir DCV em pa&#237;ses em desenvolvimento.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup></p>
    <p>A maior mortalidade por DAC est&#225; relacionada com um menor n&#237;vel socioecon&#244;mico,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> pa&#237;ses de maior renda t&#234;m taxa de mortalidade menor que pa&#237;ses de m&#233;dia renda.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> Os novos tratamentos da DAC com uso de novas tecnologias t&#234;m reduzido a mortalidade, mas n&#227;o podem reduzir a carga da doen&#231;a e a perda da sa&#250;de<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> associada com a DAC. Os fatores de risco como obesidade, dieta, tabagismo e sedentarismo t&#234;m aumentado o risco para o desenvolvimento da doen&#231;a.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>&#8211;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> A associa&#231;&#227;o crescente DAC e diabetes, vem contribuindo para aumento do risco de &#243;bito.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>&#8211;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup></p>
    <p>A linha de base do estudo ERICO<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> mostrou &#8220;uma <italic>m&#233;dia de idade foi de 62,7 anos, 58,5% homens e 77,4% tinham 8 anos ou menos de estudo. Os fatores de risco cardiovascular mais comuns foram hipertens&#227;o (76%) e sedentarismo (73,4%). Apenas 29,2% tinham hist&#243;ria pr&#233;via de doen&#231;a coronariana</italic>&#8221;.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
    <p>No per&#237;odo 1990-2017, a preval&#234;ncia de DAC aumentou nos dois sexos (de 1,08% para 1,75%), de maneira mais proeminente em homens que em mulheres, aumentando com o envelhecimento da popula&#231;&#227;o.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Considerando a import&#226;ncia do tratamento da morbidade cardiovascular e seus eventos agudos, a tend&#234;ncia de redu&#231;&#227;o da mortalidade por DAC e, o consequente, aumento da sobrevida dos pacientes com SCA e obstru&#231;&#227;o coronariana, trouxe a necessidade de elevar o conhecimento sobre o tratamento,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> o melhor uso das informa&#231;&#245;es cl&#237;nicas para o progn&#243;stico<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup> e preven&#231;&#227;o dos FRC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> Para tanto seria fundamental conhecer as pr&#225;ticas dos profissionais de sa&#250;de e seu n&#237;vel de ades&#227;o &#224;s recomenda&#231;&#245;es de boas pr&#225;ticas.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref></sup></p>
    <p>Assim, conhecer com mais profundidade, produzir evid&#234;ncias, buscar impacto a n&#237;vel populacional<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref></sup> e, ao mesmo tempo, colocar no centro do debate sobre redu&#231;&#227;o da preval&#234;ncia e incid&#234;ncia de SCA e DAC as pol&#237;ticas de sa&#250;de p&#250;blica<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup> para enfrentamento do crescente aumento dos FRC, como a forma mais efetiva para reduzir as perdas de sa&#250;de e os anos de vida perdidos devido a DAC.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup></p>

      <p>The group of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) includes the leading causes of death in Brazil and in all developing countries.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> Ischemic heart disease (IHD) or coronary artery disease (CAD) has been the leading cause of death for many years in the Brazilian population,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> with the exception of the year 2020,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> when the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was the leading cause of death, followed by IHD. IHD was the main cause of years of life lost in the Brazilian population in 2016.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup></p>
      <p>In 2017, the prevalence of CAD was estimated to be of 1.75% (2,500,000 individuals) in the Brazilian population over 20 years of age.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> The highest prevalence was found in the South and Southeast Regions, with a decreasing standardized mortality rate, but an increased prevalence, since 1990.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> With an estimated incidence of about 121,000 cases per year in 2017,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> CAD has been an important public health problem in Brazil.</p>
      <p>The ERICO study,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> a cohort of patients with episodes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who were treated at a secondary hospital, among other studies, is an important element in the production of knowledge about the short- and long-term prognosis of patients receiving secondary care and CAD.</p>
      <p>Questions that need to be asked for patients with ACS include the following: What is the best intervention, what is the evidence, and what is the prognosis? How are we to inform patients and families about the chances of long-term survival if there is still no consolidated knowledge? Many questions have yet to be answered in the Brazilian context, for example, the impact of social determinants<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> on prognosis. What is the evidence regarding the best treatment?</p>
      <p>Cardiovascular statistics<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> published in 2020 revealed that &#8220;78,575 coronary angioplasties were performed by the SUS in 2018, with hospital mortality of 2.96% and average hospital stay of 4.5 days.&#8221; With this number of angioplasties, the possibility of applying the best evidence to provide information about the best care and procedures increases the chances of benefiting not only individual patients, but the thousands of patients with ACS, thus reducing population mortality and improving quality of life. In 2019, 10% of hospitalizations in the SUS were due to CVD.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup></p>
      <p>The use of technology for diagnosis and treatment during an acute manifestation of the disease (particularly stroke or acute myocardial infarction) has been instrumental in many countries for reducing deaths and prolonging life when CVD manifests.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
      <p>In their article, Bruno et al.,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> reveal that, &#8220;Not only patients with multiple vessel disease, but also those with single vessel disease had a high risk of long-term post-ACS mortality. These findings highlight the importance of having a better approach to treatment and control of cardiovascular risk factors, even in individuals with apparently low risks, who are treated in secondary care.&#8221;</p>
      <p>The emergence and rapid growth of cardiovascular risk factors in developing countries are responsible for the prominent increase in morbidity and mortality related to IHD in recent decades, bringing about the need for an epidemiological control plan, with the aim of preventing CVD in developing countries.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Greater mortality due to CAD is related to lower socioeconomic level,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> and higher income countries have lower mortality rates than middle-income countries.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> New treatments for CAD with the use of new technologies have reduced mortality, but they cannot reduce the disease burden and the loss of health<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> associated with CAD. Risk factors, such as obesity, diet, tobacco use, and sedentary lifestyle, have increased the risk of developing the disease.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>&#8211;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> The growing association of CAD and diabetes has contributed to an increased risk of death.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>&#8211;<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup></p>
      <p>The baseline of the ERICO study<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> showed that, &#8220;Average age was 62.7 years; 58.5% were men, and 77.4% had 8 years of schooling or less. The most common cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension (76%) and sedentary lifestyle (73.4%). Only 29.2% had prior history of coronary disease.&#8221;<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
      <p>During the period from 1990 to 2017, the prevalence of CAD increased in both sexes (from 1.08% to 1.75%), more prominently in men than in women, increasing with the aging of the population.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Considering the importance of treating cardiovascular morbidity and its acute events, the trend of reduced mortality due to CAD and, consequently, the increased survival of patients with ACS and coronary obstruction have made it necessary to enhance knowledge about treatment,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> better use of clinical information for prognosis,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup> and prevention of cardiovascular risk factors.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> It is, therefore, fundamental to understand health professionals&#8217; practice and their level of adherence to good practice recommendations.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Thus, understanding more in depth, producing evidence, seeking impact on the population level,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref></sup> and, at the same time, placing public health policies at the center of the debate on reducing the prevalence and incidence of ACS and CAD<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup> in order to face the growing increase in cardiovascular risk factors are the most effective way to reduce health losses and lost years of life due to CAD.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup></p>
