  • Title: [Morphofunctional criteria for the selection of patients with ischemic heart disease and associated arterial hypertension for surgical treatment].

    Abstract:
    After examination of 255 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and concomitant arterial hypertension (AH) two groups were distinguished according the level of arterial pressure. Group 1 was formed of 89 patients (arterial pressure below 180/80 mm Hg), group 2--of 166 patients (arterial pressure above 180/100 mm Hg). Survival was determined according to certain morphofunctional indices (total affection of coronary arteries, left ventricular output fraction, left ventricular end diastolic pressure, tolerance to physical effort) in nonoperated on and operated on patients suffering from IHD and concomitant AH. It was found that the operation affects positively the "quality" of life more than the survival.
