[Clinico-epidemiological characteristics of ischemic heart disease in men of different age groups from the data of a single screening of a random population].
A total of 742 men, aged 20-69 and representative of a random male population from a Leningrad district, were investigated. The incidence of coronary disease was 3.2% in subjects aged 20-29, and 33.3% in those aged 60-69. In 40-49-year-olds, coronary disease was mostly manifested in angina of effort (57.9%), whereas painless forms reflected in ECG at rest prevailed (55-58.5% in men above 50 years of age. The frequency of ischemic response to the treadmill test increases with advancing age (8.3% in subjects aged 40-49 and 28.2% at age 60-69). The results of the WHO Questionnaire on Angina of Effort demonstrate that ECG at rest and exercise tests are mutually complementary procedures for epidemiologic diagnosis of coronary disease, their combination ensuring the fullest possible identification of coronary disease in population screenings.
