Myocardial Infarction Register in MONICA-Czechoslovakia Centre.
In 1984, 802 coronary events (age 25-64) were registered in six MONICA areas in Czechoslovakia. According to the MONICA study criteria, 63% of these coronary events in males and 51% in females were confirmed as definite myocardial infarction (MI), 26% of events in both males and females as possible MI, 5% of events in males and females were fetal cases with insufficient data, and 6% of events in males and 18% in females were not confirmed as MI (MONICA diagnostic category = 4). Age-standardized annual attack rates of MI per 100,000 population (age 35-64) were 510.4 for males and 99.3 for females. Age-standardized annual incidence rates (first ever MI) per 100,000 population (age 35-64) were 387.4 for males and 89.7 for females. 28-day case fatality was 33.3% in males and 31.5% in females. Of all deaths occurring within 28 days, 75.8% in males and 69.2% in females occurred during the first 24 hours. Of all coronary deaths, 38.5% of males and 64.1% of females died in hospital or other institution.
