title: [Is our cardiovascular program effective?].
abstract: The author analyzes the causes why the cardiovascular programme of the Ministry of Health of the SSR and the regional programme of the control of arterial hypertension were not as effective as similar programmes abroad. In his opinion the reason is the low and late detection rate of cardiovascular diseases, shortcomings of dispensary care, pharmacotherapy and differential diagnosis, and the low interest taken by society. Acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular attacks increased in 1960-1980 annually by 8% and 6% resp. This rise was arrested in 1980-1982 which could be the first signs of the effect of the cardiovascular programme in selected model districts and of the control of arterial hypertension in all districts of the Central Slovakian region.
