چکیده

Background: There is growing concern about the economic impact of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Brazil and worldwide. Objective: To estimate the economic impact of CVD in Brazil in the last five years. Methods: The information to estimate CVD costs was taken from national databases, adding the direct costs with hospitalizations, outpatient visits and benefits granted by social security. Indirect costs were added to the calculation, such as loss of income caused by CVD morbidity or mortality. Results: CVD mortality accounts for 28% of all deaths in Brazil in the last five years and for 38% of deaths in the productive age range (18 to 65 years). The estimated costs of CVD were R$ 37.1 billion in 2015, a 17% increase in the period from 2010 to 2015. The estimated costs of premature death due to CVD represent 61% of the total cost of CVD, Direct costs with hospitalizations and consultations were 22%, and costs related to the loss of productivity related to the disease were 15% of the total. Health expenditures in Brazil are estimated at 9.5% of GDP and the average cost of CVD was estimated at 0.7% of GDP. Conclusion: CVD costs have increased significantly in the last five years. It is estimated that CVD costs increase as the Brazilian population ages and the prevalence of CVD increases. Fundamento: Existe uma preocupação crescente com o impacto econômico das doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) no Brasil e no mundo. Objetivo: Estimar o impacto econômico das DCV no Brasil nos últimos cinco anos. Métodos: As informações para estimar os custos em DCV foram retiradas de bancos de dados nacionais, somando os custos diretos com hospitalizações, atendimentos ambulatoriais e benefícios concedidos pela previdência. Custos indiretos foram acrescidos ao cálculo, como a perda de renda causada pela morbidade ou pela mortalidade da DCV. Resultados: A mortalidade por DCV representa 28% do total de óbitos ocorridos no Brasil nos últimos cinco anos e atinge 38% dos óbitos na faixa etária produtiva (18 a 65 anos). Os custos estimados por DCV foram de R$ 37,1 bilhões de reais no ano de 2015, um aumento percentual de 17% no período de 2010 a 2015. Os custos estimados pela morte prematura por DCV representam 61% do total de custo por DCV, os custos diretos com internações e consultas foram de 22% e os custos pela perda da produtividade relacionados à doença foram de 15% do total. Os gastos com saúde no Brasil são estimados em 9,5% do PIB e o custo médio das DCV foi estimado em 0,7% do PIB. Conclusão: Os custos com DCV vêm aumentando significativamente nos últimos cinco anos. Estima-se que os custos por DCV aumentem à medida que a população brasileira envelhece e que a prevalência de DCV aumenta.
