[Mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in relation to age and sex. Comparison  of routine statistics with results of a special epidemiological survey].
The author presents an account of results of routine statistics and a special epidemiological survey where Prqgue, the Central Bohemian region and CSSR were compared. Existing possibilities as regards the diagnosis of a difficult group of cardiovascular diseases was tested. Careful processing of these causes of death revealed that routine statistics are as regards details of different groups of cardiovascular diseases somewhat inaccurate; despite this they give a fairly correct idea of the mortality from this group of diseases. The results of the investigation confirmed again that cardiovascular diseases are at present not only a very serious health issue but also a social problem.
