title: [Coronary heart disease in Russia: prevalence and treatment (according to clinical-epidemiological data)].
abstract: Monitoring of arterial hypertension on representative samples has shown that overall prevelance of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Russia is 13.5 +/- 0.1%, in men--14.3 +/- 0.3%, in women--13.0 +/- 0.2%. This is three times higher than in the United States where this figure in 2004 was 4.9%. CHD morbidity raises with age and in population over 70 years of age reaches in Russia 50%. Recently, treatment of CHD improved significantly, modern medication is applied more often though doses of drugs are often not optimal and specialized medical aid is not sufficient.
