[The specific features of coronary heart disease in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis].
The prevalence and some specific features of coronary heart disease (CHD) were studied in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Its prevalence was determined in relation to age, gender, and the type of a tuberculous process. ECG changes in ST segment and T wave were found in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis without concomitant CHD under intoxication. The diagnosis of CHD was established in 41 of 491 patients, which was 8.4%. CHD was more common in elderly and senile females. The clinical manifestation of CHD was observed in females of older age than in males; under the age of 60 years, the prevalence of CHD is less among the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and above the age of 60 years, it does not differ from that in the general population. CHD most commonly manifests clinical signs in patients with residual changes after experienced pulmonary tuberculosis and in cirrhotic tuberculosis, i.e. when the tuberculosis process is less active.
