Resumen
Objective: To analyze the costs treatment for patients
with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) over the period
from 2000 to 2016.
Materials and methods: Systematic review of the literature
on the costs of treatment for patients with Acute
Myocardial Infarction in the period 2000-2016. We selected
30 scientific articles from the database Scielo, Medline,
Redalyc, Springer Medizin and Lilacs, which met the
inclusion criteria: articles published in Spanish, Portuguese
or English from 2000 to 2016. To restrict the search of
articles, we use the health descriptors: costs, myocardial
infarction and cardiovascular, combining them with the
Boolean operators ‘’AND’’, ‘’OR’’ and ‘’NOT’’. Of which, a
sample of 11 articles was selected.
Results: It was evidenced that a high percentage (63.6%)
came from the Scielo database. According to the country
of origin of the articles, it was identified that the highest
percentage (36.4%) came from Colombia. Concerning
the direct and indirect costs of patients with Acute Myocardial
Infarction (AMI) from an international perspective,
the total estimated cost for Acute Coronary Syndrome
(ACS) in 2011, including direct and indirect costs, is $1.26
million (US dollars are used throughout). In Colombia, the
average cost of a case of AMI during the first five years after
diagnosis is USD $8,786.9. Ambulatory management
costs represent 54%.
Conclusion: The costs of people with Acute Myocardial
Infarction in both ambits, the international and national
(Colombia) are significantly attributable by surgical interventions,
treatment, hospital stay and post-diagnostic
outpatient management.
