Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are responsible for the majority of deaths in Brazil and worldwide, and constitute an important share of non-transmissible diseases. The objective of this study is to analyze the mortality trends of the three main CVD in Brazil and its geographic regions: acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. Data predictions until 2030 were also carried out. An ecological study is presented herein, with data for the period 2001–2015. Mortality from these diseases was evaluated by annual trends, and grouped in five-year intervals for the predictions until 2030. All data are publicly available. Acute myocardial infarction was the leading isolated cause of death. Brazilian trends revealed a decrease in the three diseases, with different patterns across geographic regions. The Southeast, South, and Midwest regions presented reductions for the three diseases. The predictions indicated higher rates for men. There was also a reduction in the risk of death from these diseases for Brazil and, despite the different mortality patterns for the three diseases, the Southeast region presents, primarily, lower predicted rates than the other regions. The assessment of trends and predictions for the three main CVD in Brazil revealed general decreasing trends with differences across the geographic regions.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading mortality cause worldwide. The capacity to identify among the asymptomatic individuals the subgroup at greater risk for developing cardiovascular events is fundamental in any strategy aimed at reducing the rate of cardiovascular events. The first step in cardiovascular risk stratification is the use of global risk scores, the Framingham risk score being the most frequently used. However, previous studies have shown that, although very useful, clinical scores, when used alone, have a limited capacity for stratifying cardiovascular risk in a significant part of the population.In that context, coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and coronary computed tomographic angiography might play an important role as complementary tools for risk stratification of asymptomatic patients. The CACS provides important prognostic information that is incremental to clinical scores based on traditional risk factors and other diagnostic modalities, such as C-reactive protein measurement. In addition, CACS has the potential to change and help the patients' clinical management. On the other hand, coronary computed tomographic angiography provides a detailed assessment of the anatomy of the coronary arteries, allowing visualizing not only the lumen, but also the coronary arterial walls. Compared with conventional invasive coronary angiography, coronary computed tomographic angiography has excellent accuracy to identify and mainly exclude the presence of significant obstructive lesions. In addition, it proved to be able to provide incremental prognostic information to traditional risk factors and CACS.
