[Ischemic heart disease in young women. Its importance and possibilities of prevention].
Ischemic heart disease in young women is a rare disease, but nowadays it is more frequently detected. The investigation involved 83 women up to the age of 19 with ischemic heart disease. The most frequent risk factors were as follows: hypertension, hyperlipoproteinaemia, smoking, stress and obesity. The association of three factors was most often observed. Electrocardiogram at rest pointed to the changes as follows: anteroseptal region, the whole anterior wall, postero-inferior region and subendocardial localization. Out of 11 exercise tests 36 (81.81%) of them were positive. Coronary arteriography was performed in 72 (86.71%), with positive changes in 61 (81.72%) patients. Occlusive changes were most frequently found on anterior descendent artery. Since a great number of risk factors in women may be easily corrected by an adequate diet and healthier way of life, their detection and implementation of measures of primary and secondary prevention have been attached a great importance.
