[The prognosis of the course and outcome of small-focus myocardial infarct depending on the T-index values on the ECG based on data from the Novosibirsk Myocardial Infarct Registry program]. / Prognozirovanie techeniia i iskhodov melkoochagovogo infarkta miokarda v zavisimosti ot velichin T-pokazatelia na EKG po materialam programmy "Registr infarkta miokarda" Novosibirska.

Overall 342 patients with small-focal myocardial infarction were analyzed for hospital complications and for outcomes during one- and four-year observation periods in groups with different magnitudes of the T parameter. The latter one is the negative T wave on the ECG computed similarly to the Z. L. Dolabchian's index for Q and R waves on days 1-2 and 28 of myocardial infarction. The use of the T parameter allows predicting the most frequently occurring complications during the hospital observation period and recurrent myocardial infarction and cardial death during the period indicated. In the acute stage, the magnitudes of the T parameter from 1 to 24 conventional units are predictors of the complications: lung edema, cardiogenic shock, rhythm disorders, myocardial infarction relapses, particularly in able-bodied men. If the T parameter amounts from 78 to 648 conventional units in the acute stage and on day 28, this suggests a high risk of repeated myocardial infarction and cardial death for one- and 4-year observation periods in accordance with materials of the "Myocardial Infarction Register" program in Novosibirsk.

[An epidemiological study of ischemic heart disease, vascular brain diseases and their risk factors in an open population of 25- to 64-year olds in Novosibirsk]. / Epidemiologicheskoe izuchenie ishemicheskoi bolezni serdtsa, sosudistykh zabolevanii golovnogo mozga, ikh faktorov riska v otkrytoi populiatsii 25--64 let Novosibirska.

To study the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), cerebrovascular diseases (CVD), combined pathology (CHD and CVD), and their risk factors such as arterial hypertension (AH), overweight (OW), hypercholesterolemia (HC), and tobacco smoking in the same population, a random representative sample of male and female populations were examined in three districts of Novosibirsk. AH and tobacco smoking were found predominant among men, whereas OW and HC among women. It turned out that almost every fourth person out of the men and almost every second woman suffered from cardiovascular diseases. In the men, the CHD/CVD ratio was 1:1, that in the women, was 1:7. In the men and women, suffering from combined pathology, AH occurred more frequently as compared to those with CHD or CVD alone. OW promoted the development of CVD and combined pathology in women to a greater degree, whereas HC favoured the development of CHD and CVD in men.

[Mortality, morbidity, lethality and the cardiovascular risk profile in the population of Novosibirsk]. / Smertnost', zabolevaemost', letal'nost' i serdechno-sosudistyi profil' riska v populiatsii Novosibirska.

The authors analyze the results of investigations in accordance with the WHO program "MONICA" in one of the districts of Novosibirsk. The bases of the objective information system pertaining to the tendencies in mortality, morbidity and lethality due to cardiovascular diseases, the prevalence of risk factors in the population, the possibilities of their monitoring have been established.
