Correspondência: Antonio Carlos Palandri Chagas • Avenida Marechal Câmara, 160/330, Centro 20020-907, Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brasil E-mail: [email protected] Artigo recebido em 08/12/09; revisado recebido em 08/12/09; aceito em 08/12/09. A compreensão dos mecanismos da doença levou a medicina a desenvolver intensamente novas estratégias terapêuticas nas últimas décadas, estratégias baseadas principalmente em intervenção. Entretanto, estas indiscutíveis conquistas em mortalidade e qualidade de vida não chegam a promover a cura ou remissão completa dos sintomas da doença, e são acompanhados de significativo aumento dos custos da saúde, sendo universal o problema do financiamento da saúde, que atinge inclusive os países mais ricos. Estas questões estão movendo de forma intensa a medicina do século XXI em direção à procura de uma nova estratégia de encarar o adoecimento do homem, e voltar a ter como foco principal a prevenção das doenças, ao invés de aguardá-las e tratá-las após sua instalação. Este caminho está se tornando irreversível, como pode ser exemplificado por palestra proferida pelo professor Eugene Braunwald, no último congresso europeu de cardiologia, na cidade de Barcelona. Dr. Braunwald participou do simpósio “Futuro da cardiologia como especialidade” proferindo a conferência “Cardiologia como profissão em 2020 e além”, na qual focou sua apresentação nos aspectos da prevenção como o melhor caminho para a abordagem da doença cardiovascular, e atitude prioritária dos cardiologistas no próximo século.
