title: Monitoring of major cardiovascular diseases in Moscow, USSR.
abstract: Since 1984, suspected events of myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke have been registered and validated for residents of both sexes aged 25-64 in three Moscow administrative districts. The results of the myocardial infarction and stroke registers for 1985 are presented. In men, age-standardized attack rates per 100,000 population in the three districts were 310-400 for myocardial infarction, and 100-180 for stroke; the mortality due to myocardial infarction was 136-179, and the mortality due to stroke was 30-53. In women these rates were 70-90, 60-100, 24-35 and 24-32, respectively.
