  • Title: [Arterial hypertension as a prognostic factor in the course of ischemic heart disease].
    Author: Stroganova NP, Il'iash MG.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1992; 64(3):84-6. PubMed ID: 1440285.
    Abstract:
    Overall 235 patients with a history of uncomplicated myocardial infarction were examined. Of these, in 79 patients (33%), myocardial infarction developed in the presence of arterial hypertension. To predict the efficacy of rehabilitation treatment, postinfarction angina pectoris, arterial hypertension, the size and localization of the injury, the status of the coronary and myocardial reserves were taken into consideration. The data obtained confirmed the prognostic significance of arterial hypertension in the estimation of the efficacy of rehabilitation therapy. Arterial hypertension contributes to an unfavourable course of CHD and to a decrease of the work fitness of the patients who suffered myocardial infarction. Estimating the long-term efficacy of rehabilitation treatment, it is necessary to bear in mind not only the coronary reserves, but also the myocardial reserves, its integral index--the total ejection fraction and regional myocardial contractility.
