    Abstract:
    To study clinical and pathogenetic correlations between different stages of arterial deficiency in obliterating atherosclerosis of lower limbs arteries (OALLA) and various clinical forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD) as well as the influence of different risk factors on OALLA clinical course in different arterial territories. The study included 76 OALLA patients (73 men and 3 women, mean age 56 years). The diagnosis was made on the basis of typical complaints, physical and device examinations. IHD was diagnosed on the basis of typical clinical symptoms and/or findings of the device examinations. OALLA and IHD differ by some risk factors. One of them--chronic alcoholism--is responsible for OALLA progression. This was shown by the analysis of chronic alcoholism prevalence in two groups of patients: with OALLA alone and OALLA in combination with IHD. In the former group alcoholics prevailed (61 vs 24.1%). Chronic alcoholism may be considered as an independent risk factor of OALLA development.
