ABSTRACT
Com a criação do SUS, todos teriam acesso universal, integral e equânime à assistência de saúde de qualidade. Entretanto, existe grande lacuna de estudos escrutinizando o SUS no tocante à qualidade assistencial praticada. Esse fato é especialmente crítico para vítimas de infarto agudo do miocárdio com supradesnivelamento do segmento ST (IAMCSST), sendo a responsividade do sistema e o uso da reperfusão em tempo hábil fatores cardinais para obtenção de melhores resultados. Descrever a metodologia empregada no Registro VICTIM que tem como objetivo caracterizar e comparar o acesso e o uso de terapias efetivas e desfechos entre os pacientes com IAMCSST usuários do SUS e do sistema privado atendidos nos hospitais com capacidade de realizar angioplastia em Sergipe, tentanto identificar e mensurar eventuais disparidades na qualidade da assistência.O Registro VICTIM é um estudo observacional, iniciado em dezembro de 2014, e ainda em fase de coleta, com a intenção de investigar a epidemiologia do IAMCSST em Sergipe, os cursos temporal e geográfico dos pacientes até sua admissão em uma instituição com capacidade de realizar angioplastia, uso de terapias de reperfusão, qualidade assistencial recebida durante a linha de cuidado, bem como a mortalidade de 30 dias, comparando-se os resultados obtidos pela população usuária do SUS e do sistema privado.O registro VICTIM é um esforço interinstitucional para identificar oportunidades de melhoria na linha de cuidado para IAMCSST de usuários do SUS e do sistema privado. Com isso, espera-se municiar os gestores públicos de informações técnicas que embasem novas políticas de saúde mais eficientes e equânimes
The Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) was created to ensure universal, integral and equitable access to quality healthcare to Brazilians. However, studies scrutinizing the quality of the healthcare provided by the SUS are scarce. This is especially critical for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), who depend on healthcare system responsiveness and timely reperfusion to achieve better outcomes. To describe the methodology of the VICTIM Registry aimed at characterizing and comparing the access to effective therapies and the outcomes of patients with STEMI, who use the SUS and the private healthcare system at hospitals capable of performing angioplasty in Sergipe. In addition, that registry aimed at identifying and measuring possible disparities in the quality of the care provided. The VICTIM Registry is an observational study, launched in December 2014, being still in the data collection phase, to investigate: the epidemiology of STEMI in Sergipe, the temporal and geographic courses of the patients up to their admission to one of the hospitals capable of performing angioplasty, the reperfusion therapy rates, the quality of the healthcare provided during the event, and the 30-day mortality. It compares the results obtained in the SUS with those of the private healthcare system. The VICTIM Registry is an interinstitutional effort to identify opportunities for healthcare improvement for SUS and private healthcare system patients with STEMI. It is expected to provide healthcare managers with information to support new, more efficient and equitable healthcare policies

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the association between the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in men undergoing coronary angiography for angina or acute myocardial infarct (AMI). Material and Methods We studied 132 males who underwent coronary angiography for first time between January and November 2010. ED severity was assessed by the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) and CAD severity was assessed by the Syntax score. Patients with CAD (cases) and without CAD (controls) had their IIEF-5 compared. In the group with CAD, their IIEF-5 scores were compared to their Syntax score results. Results We identified 86 patients with and 46 without CAD. The IIEF-5 score of the group without CAD (22.6±0.8) was significantly higher than the group with CAD (12.5±0.5; p<0.0001). In patients without ED, the Syntax score average was 6.3±3.5, while those with moderate or severe ED had a mean Syntax score of 39.0±11.1. After adjustment, ED was independently associated to CAD, with an odds ratio of 40.6 (CI 95%, 14.3-115.3, p<0.0001). The accuracy of the logistic model to correctly identify presence or absence of CAD was 87%, with 92% sensitivity and 78% specificity. The average time that ED was present in patients with CAD was 38.8±2.3 months before coronary symptoms, about twice as high as patients without CAD (18.0±5.1 months). Conclusions ED severity is strongly and independently correlated with CAD complexity, as assessed by the Syntax score in patients undergoing coronariography for evaluation of new onset coronary symptoms.

A doença arterial coronária ainda é a primeira causa de mortalidade no mundo ocidental, apesar do constante avanço em sua prevenção e em seu tratamento. A angioplastia transluminal coronária percutânea representou grande avanço na terapêutica cardiovascular, constitutindo método mundialmente aceito. Essa prática, entretanto, foi seguida por um grande problema: a reestenose coronária. O maior avanço no combate a essa entidade foi o desenvolvimeto das próteses intracoronárias (stents), que eliminaram o problema do recolhimento elástico e do remodelamento vascular, diminuindo sua incidência. Essa técnica, porém, não foi eficaz no combate à hiperplasia neo-intimal, que se tornou o principal mecanismo fisiopatológico da reestenose. Novos métodos foram desenvolvidos com o objetivo de eliminar a hiperplasia neo-intimal, dentre os quais destacam-se a braquiterapia, o ultra-som terapêutico de baixa frequência (sonoterapia) e os stents revestidos com fármacos...
