Objective To survey the Keshan disease conditions and its trend in the historical serious illness areas of the disease in Arong Banner,and to provide epidemiological evidence for scientific prevention and control of Keshan disease.Methods According to the requirements of National Keshan Disease Surveillance Program,two villages in 2 townships of Arong Banner were selected as monitoring sites in 2012,population in monitoring sites was conducted clinical examination and electrocardiogram (ECG) tracings;suspected cases of Keshan disease were conducted chest X ray and ultrasound heartbeat graph examination.At the same time,residents' income and staple food structure were investigated.Results The abnormal rate of ECG was 7.92％ (66/833).The detection rate of cardiac enlargement was 20.00％ (9/45) by chest X ray,in which a slight increase was 8.89％ (4/45),moderate increase was 4.44％ (2/45) and severe increase was 6.67％ (3/45).The detection rate of Keshan disease patients was 132.05/10 000 (11/833),including latent Keshan disease [72.03/10 000 (6/833)] and chronic Keshan disease [60.02/10 000 (5/833)].In the ECG abnormal changes of Keshan disease cases,ST-T change and right bundle branch block were common,accounting for 100.00％ (11/11) and 63.64％ (7/11),respectively;frequent ventricular premature contraction was 2 cases,accounting for 18.18％ (2/11),degree I ° atrioventricular block and complete left bundle branch block was both i case,accounting for 9.09％ (1/11).Annual per capita income in Arong Banner was 8 100 yuan;dweller staple food was rice,flour and other grain crops,rice accounted for 70％-80％,flour 15％-25％ and purchased non-local grain accounted for 95％.Conclusions Keshan disease has been under control at a lower level in Arong Banner,but new latent and chronic Keshan disease occur slowly,gradually and gradually accumulated;life quality and dietary structure have influence on the incidence.In the future,we should pay more attention to Keshan disease and do a good job on prevention and control of Keshan disease.
