[The main approaches to reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Russia].
Analysis of medical statistical data and of the socioeconomic situation in the country brought the authors to a conclusion that at present the principal factors responsible for cardiovascular diseases, specifically, coronary disease and cerebrovascular disorders, are environmental factors, such as chronic stress, alcoholism and hard drinking, violation of social and hygienic norms of labor, and a number of factors related to medicine: no prophylactic check-ups and unavailability of effective drugs. "Internal risk factors" should not be disregarded as well: hypercholesterolemia, arterial hypertension, etc. Based on their results, the authors propose measures aimed at limitation of overall stress exposures, alcoholism and hard drinking control, sociohygienic labor protection, re-creation of a system of effective prophylactic check-ups, and making present-day effective drugs available for the population.
