Objetivo: Medir e identificar cambios en la tendencia temporal de mortalidad por enfermedades isquémicas cardiacas (EIC) en población peruana. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio ecológico con los datos de la base de registros individuales de defunciones del Ministerio de Salud del Perú entre los años 2005 y 2017. Se consideró una muerte atribuible a EIC si esta se registró con los códigos del sistema de Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades en su décima edición (CIE-10) del I20 a I25. Se obtuvo las tasas de mortalidad por EIC crudas y ajustadas por edad para la población y según sexo. Se realizó un análisis de regresión joinpoint para evaluar las tendencias en mortalidad por EIC. Resultados: Entre 2005 y 2017, se presentaron 61 524 muertes por EIC (55.69% en varones). Según el CIE-10: I21 (Infarto agudo de miocardio) representó la mayor proporción de muertes (88.16...

The highest proportion of deaths among patients with cardiovascular diseases is due to ischemic heart disease (IHD), which is the second most common cause of death in Peru. This study aims to measure and identify changes in the temporal trend in mortality from ischemic heart disease in the Peruvian population. An ecological study was carried out with data from individual death records from the Ministry of Health between 2005 and 2017. A death was considered attributable to IHD if it was registered with the codes I20 to I25 of the ICD-10. Crude and adjusted mortality rates for IHD were calculated for the general population by age and according to sex. A joinpoint regression analysis was performed to assess trends in IHD mortality. There were 61,524 deaths due to IHD (55.69% men) from 2005 to 2017. According to the ICD-10, acute myocardial infarction (I21) accounted for the highest proport...
