Ischemic heart disease in patients with large gland prostatic hypertrophy.
Fifty consecutive patients with large gland prostatic hypertrophy, requiring open prostatectomy, were analyzed retrospectively with regard to relationship to the subsequent development of ischemic heart disease. A significant increase in the development of progressive ischemic heart disease and sudden death was found in these patients when compared with two control groups. These findings are analyzed.
