[Public health importance of ischemic heart disease].
The high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality makes good quality and reproducible data essential to obtain adequate conclusion. Data collected in order to be well financed are inadequate, special conducted surveys are mandatory. Even in absence of such surveys the high prevalence and high mortality data are widely accepted. Theoretically the total elimination of risk factors and the application of the four preventive drugs would bring very effective (75-90%) risk reduction. The excellent perspective dose not support the sparing with preventive efforts.
