title: [Population research on ischemic heart disease in middle-aged men in Tashkent].
abstract: Prophylactic examination of a random representative sample of the male population aged 40-59 in one of the administrative districts of Tashkent using unified diagnostic methods showed a high CHD prevalence. During examination of 2405 persons (80% of those invited) CHD was revealed in 10.8% of the cases, 9.5% of this rate in the indigenous population. The history of myocardial infarction (MI) was noted in 1.5% of the examined persons, angina of effort (without MI) in 4.4%, a painless form of CHD (based on ECD changes) in 4.9%. A 4.6-year follow-up revealed high mortality among CHD patients diagnosed according to epidemiological criteria, particularly with the history of MI. Mortality rates from MI among males aged 40-59 were 4 per 1000 of population annually. The study showed a necessity to improve methods of secondary prevention of CHD under out-patient conditions.
