title: [Acute gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers in coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].
abstract: A total of 4684 autopsies made at Moscow multidisciplinary hospitals in 2002-2008 were studied to reveal the incidence and morphological features of acute gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers in coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cases with combined, background, and concomitant diseases that could be independent causes of gastroduodenal lesions were excluded. Patients older than 60 years with infarctions of the myocardium or brain, a concurrence of CHD, CVD, and COPD, and various diseases with chronic heart failure syndrome, particularly in the presence of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus should be referred to as a risk group for acute gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers and their induced hemorrhages.
