title: [Characteristics of the clinical course of myocardial infarct during acute and functionally restorative periods in patients with concomitant bronchial asthma].
abstract: A comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination of patients aged 45 years or more with coronary heart disease and bronchial asthma (BA) indicated that the incidence of documented large myocardial infarction was high and equal to 24.3%. In patients with a long history of BA, myocardial infarction was more frequently characterized by a typical anginal onset, clinical symptoms of the concomitant lung disease regressing. No substantial differences were found in the site and magnitude of focal changes, in the incidence of first and recurrent myocardial infarctions among the patients with a prior history of BA and among those who had myocardial infarction before BA manifestations. An older age and shorter history of angina pectoris were typical of patients sustaining myocardial infarction in the presence of a long-term prior course of BA. Late complications of myocardial infarction included aggravated concurrent BA more frequently (25%), which was largely of allergic origin and pathogenetically applied to the postinfarction syndrome.
