RESUMO

Introdução:

Dentre as doenças cardiovasculares, a condição mais prevalente é a dor torácica aguda não traumática.

Objetivo:

Identificar a freqüência de dor torácica na emergência e a descrição dos eventos na internação em 6 meses.

Métodos:

O estudo apresenta duas etapas estudo transversal e série de casos, em pacientes com dor torácica na emergência, onde foi avaliado o protocolo assistencial. A dor foi classificada nas categorias infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM), angina pectoris e dor não-anginosa, de acordo com a clínica, eletrocardiografia e marcadores de necrose miocárdica. O teste ergométrico foi realizado de acordo com protocolo de Bruce. Os eventos em 6 meses foram mensurados.

Resultados:

No período de novembro de 2004 a janeiro de 2005 foram atendidos 80.184 pacientes na emergência do Hospital Conceição (HNSC). Desses atendimentos, 1.564 (2%) apresentavam dor torácica. Foram avaliados 52 pacientes, 34 (65%) masculino, idade média de 59 anos (dp 14,74), 69% internaram (38% com infarto, 27% angina e 4% dor não-anginosa), 17% realizaram teste ergométrico.

Conclusão:

Constatou-se uma baixa freqüência (2%) dos atendimentos devido a dor torácica não-traumática, porém elevada incidência de infarto e angina instável (AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Among the cardiovascular emergencies the most frequent cause is nontraumatic acute thoracic pain in the emergency room.

Objective:

To identify thoracic pain frequency in the emergency and cardiovascular events in 6 months.

Methods:

A crosssectional and a case series study were carried out to evaluate thoracic pain guideline. Myocardial infarct, angina pectoris, and non-angina pain were identified based on clinical features, ECG abnormality and myocardial necrosis indicators. The ergometric test was carried out according to the Bruce Protocol. The events in 6 months were measured.

Results:

Between November 2004 through January 2005, 80,184 patients received care in the emergency room of Hospital Conceição. Among them, 1564 (2%) had thoracic pain. We had investigated 52 of these patients, 34 (65%) of whom were males, with an average age of 59 years old (sd 14.74). Regarding to the diagnosis, 69% had been admitted (38% with the diagnosis of infarct, 27% with angina and 4% with non-angina pain), 17% performed the ergometric test.

Conclusion:

A low frequency (2%) of non-traumatic thoracic pain has been identified, although there was a high incidence of infarct and unstable angina in these patients. There was a high prevalence of cardiovascular events in 6 months in the three studied groups (AU)
