[The fate of young individuals with a history of myocardial infarction].
The fate of young individuals (to 45 years) with a history of myocardial infarction during 12 years was analysed with the aid of a questionnaire containing questions of both social and medical character. Sudden cardiac death or the second infarction were the most frequent causes of death during the first two years following myocardial infarction. Change in the physical activity mainly involved the return to work. Only 47% of young men and 29.8% of women started full-time jobs. They mainly belonged to so-called white collars. The lack of patients' physicians permission was a main cause of the abstinence of young men from the occupation. A position within the family and social activity usually remained unchanged in the majority of patients, but every third patient greatly reduced sexual activity. Every third patients continued smoking, and did not observe recommended diet despite the systematical medical check-ups. The course of the disease is unclear in the majority of young patients. It is often deformed and requires further, detailed information on young patients' style of life.
