ABSTRACT

Realizou-se estudo comparativo da freqüência e etiologia das mortes súbitas ocorridas no Município de Uberaba, Minas Gerais, em maiores de 15 anos de idade, nos anos de 1980 e de 1990, com o objetivo fundamental de analisar a freqüência atual do óbito súbito em nossa regiao e o eventual papel de medidas profiláticas e terapêuticas na morte súbita por doença de Chagas. Dos 1226 óbitos de 1980, 54 (4,4 por cento) foram súbitos e destes, 13 (24,1 por cento) etiologia atribuída à doença de Chagas. Em 1990 foram pesquisados 1740 óbitos, dos quais 44 (2,5 por cento) foram súbitos: destes, somente 3 (6,8 por cento) devidos à tripanosomose curzi. Os resultados indicam reduçao significativa na freqüência tanto da morte súbita em geral, como daquela devida à doença de Chagas, no ano de 1990, em relaçao ao de 1980, discutindo-se suas prováveis razoes.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE--To determinate the circadian daily and weekly variations in the incidence of sudden death due to Chagas' disease. METHODS--In 50 chronic chagasic individuals with sudden death due to Chagas' disease and in 473 individuals with natural, not sudden death, we analyzed both the day of the week and the time of the death. Statistical tests were applied to determine the significance of the difference between proportions and averages. RESULTS--For the chagasic group the values indicated a highly significant excess of lethality for the period between 12 and 6pm. The occurrence of the sudden death was the same in the different days of the week for both groups. CONCLUSION--The observed results suggest that the sudden death associated with Chagas' disease has a circadian pattern with a vespertine peak. Weekly variations in the sudden death of chronic chagasic individuals were not detected
