Resumen

Objective

Estimate and georeferenced the prevalence of CVD mortality, explore possible associated factors and analyze whether public policies generated in Colombia have managed to control or reduce CVD mortality.

Materials and methods

Mortality data were taken between 1993 and 2017, deaths were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases standard (ICD-10). The average percentage of deaths due to CVD was calculated, associated factors were identified. An approach was made around public policies and the State's action to guarantee the right to health.

Results

The average percentage of deaths by CVD to 2017 was 29.2%. In the age group of 15 to 45 years, there was a higher percentage of deaths in men. Since 2011 the world average was exceeded, from 1993 to 2017 the average percentage of mortality increased by 18.2%.

Conclusions

In Colombia there are public policies regarding controlling the burden and mortality of noncommunicable diseases, these policies conform to international conventions, although the statistics have shown results contrary to those expected. A rigorous application of the policies adopted by the state and an active participation of the private sector are urgently needed.
