The study "Mortality from Acute Myocardial Infarction, Brazil (2012 to 2022)" analyzed data from DATASUS to understand the relationship between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and sociodemographic variables, such as age, race, and education level. The study highlighted that most cases occurred in middle-aged and older adults, reinforcing the association between aging and a higher risk of AMI. Regarding skin color, the data did not show a direct correlation, although ethnic subgroups point to possible genetic influences. Regarding education, a higher incidence of AMI was observed in individuals with lower educational levels, suggesting the impacts of social inequalities and limited access to health information. The study emphasizes the need for public policies focused on the prevention and management of AMI, considering the most vulnerable groups.
