ABSTRACT
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases have emerged as the main causes of death in the world, representing in 2019, 73.6 % of all deaths from all causes. In Cuba, 81.5 % of the total deaths from all causes were caused by these diseases. Premature mortality from cardiovascular diseases turned out to be 34.7 % of the total number of premature deaths globally.Objective: To describe mortality from ischemic heart, cerebrovascular and hypertensive diseases in Cuba, in the 2011- 2020 decade.
Material and Methods: A descriptive longitudinal ecological study of annual mortality from ischemic heart, cerebrovascular and hypertensive diseases in Cuba was carried out in the 2011-2020 decade. Crude mortality rates for these diseases were taken into account. The statistical yearbooks published by the Directorate of Medical Records and Health Statistics of the Ministry of Public Health for those years were the source of information.
Results: The annual mortality rates from ischemic heart, cerebrovascular and hypertensive diseases in Cuba showed overall increasing trends in the 2011- 2020 decade, more pronounced in the case of hypertensive diseases. An increase in premature mortality rates from these diseases was observed.
Conclusions: Arterial hypertension constitutes a severe health problem in Cuba, both as a cause of death and as a risk factor attributable to mortality from ischemic heart and cerebrovascular diseases.
