title: [The role of partial myocardial revascularization in treatment of elderly patients with ischemic heart disease].
abstract: One of the main difficulties in cardiology is how to correctly choose the volume and method of treatment in elderly patients with ischemic heart disease. 165 elderly patients with IHD were included into the study. 83 patients received partial myocardial revascularization by PTCA and stenting and 82 patients were on the conservative medical treatment. The state of coronary flow was estimated by means of the Holter-monitoring and treadmill-test results. Contraction ability of the heart was evaluated by echocardiography. The Quality of life level in patients was measured by SF-36 questionnaire. The results prove that elderly patients with IHD can benefit from the early partial myocardial revascularization which increases coronary circulation, quality of life level and preserves left ventricular function.
