Abstract

This research analyzes the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Panama during the years 2021-2023, highlighting its growing impact as a public health problem. Using data from the Health Events Surveillance System (SISVIG), 56 deaths attributed to AMI were identified in the period studied, with a significant concentration of cases in the last months of the year, particularly in October, November and December. This trend suggests possible seasonal influences and acquired behaviors in the population, such as changes in diet and lifestyle during the holidays, which could be contributing to the observed peaks in AMI incidence in the region. The descriptive study also revealed limitations in the coverage and consistency of data reported by hospitals to (SISVIG), which could be underestimating the true magnitude of AMI cases. This deficiency highlights the need to improve epidemiological surveillance and access to quality information to optimize public health intervention and prevention strategies against cardiovascular diseases in Panama.
