In Cuba the cardiovascular diseases constitute, for many years, the first cause of death and among them the myocardial Ischemia is the responsible for more than 80% of these diseases. In Cuba during the 2015, the rate of gross mortality for cardiovascular diseases was of 218,3 x 105, being potentially responsible for 11.3 years of life lost. In the Special Municipality of Isle of Youth, it is the second cause of death with a gross mortality of 165.4 x 105. The indexes of discrepancy and coincidence of the causes of death between the clinical diagnosis and morphologic constitute in an indirect way an indicator of quality of the borrowed medical attention.
