Table 1 Associated Causes with Ischemic Heart Diseases and Underlying Causes related with Ischemic Heart Diseases in Brazil from 2006 to 2020 by sex. Distribution by sex of the 13 most frequent causes of death listed in death certificates when ischemic heart disease was recorded as the underlying cause of death ("Associated Causes") and the 16 most frequent causes of death listed as the underlying cause of death when ischemic heart disease was recorded in any line of the death certificates ("Underlying Causes") in Brazil from 2006 to 2020. The numbers correspond to the number of times each cause of death was mentioned in the death certificates and are shown in absolute values
