Over a period 17 years the morbidity of cardiovascular system increased a little (up to 80-90%) but it structure changes: vegetovascular dystonia was completely substituted by HHD and ischemic heart disease (IHD), which combined with chronic heart failure, veins varicose and obliterating atherosclerosis of legs vessels. The frequency rate of HHD and IHD reached 75-80% and 30%, respectively. The disorders of heart bioelectric activity as rhythm (atrial fibrillation) and conduction (blockage) changes, left ventricular hypertrophy, segment ST depression on electrocardiogram were attributable for patients with mentioned above diseases and its proved the essential decrease of myocardium functional state. During 22 years 7 ARS survivors died from cardiovascular diseases and 5 personsfrom group of comparison as well. The sudden cardiac death was the proximate cause of fatal outcome in 8 men, and acute impairment of cerebral circulation and heart failure in 4 persons.5635 Product Description popup.authors popup.nrat_date 2020-04-02 Close
