[Ischemic heart disease mortality of men 40 to 59 years old and its basic risk factors (based on prospective study data)].
An analysis is presented of a follow-up study during 3.8 years of 526 patients (males aged 40--59 years) with ischaemic heart disease found among 3908 examined males, including 475 patients who were investigated according to full program (anthropometry, determination of total blood cholesterol, triglycerides, alpha-cholesterol, smoking habits). Mortality of patients with IHD aged 40--59 years per 100 patients was: from varying causes--3.1 from ischaemic heart disease 1.55, the figures increasing with age. Mortality from IHD and total in patients who had myocardial infarction with corresponding changes of the ECG and angina pectoris of effort was 3- and 2-fold higher, respectively, than in other forms of the disease. These figures are practically identical in patients with other forms of ischaemic heart disease. Among the main factors of risk only hypercholesterolaemia contributes to increased mortality from IHD. Among patients with IHD detected during investigation lethal cases are 7-fold more frequent than among those without IHD.
