Abstract

Introduction: cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world. In Cuba and in Villa Clara Province more than 20% of deaths occur from these causes. Objective: to identify mortality trends and changes experienced according to the epidemiological variables selected during the period. Methods: a descriptive-epidemiological study was conducted with the total number of deaths from heart disease in Villa Clara during the period 2001-2017 to identify trends and changes in mortality according to sex, age and cause. Rates, percentages and ratios were used as summary measures and percentage variation was calculated, shown through time series. Results: mortality increased in both sexes, and was higher in men. The greatest increase in mortality by sex was observed in the period from 2009 to 2017, which was 41.99% and 27.80% for men and women, respectively. There is a discrete trend towards a decrease from 70 years of age and an increase in premature mortality. Ischemic disease predominated among the causes of death, followed by heart failure (340.1%) and hypertensive disease (145.5%), both with a significant increase in the period. Conclusions: the changes are appreciable from 2010 and the mortality in early ages and the hypertensive and ischemic disease stand out with greater changes.
