A collaborative study was undertaken to assess the efficacy of multifactor prevention of myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke. A representative group of 5951 males aged 40-50 years was examined in Kaunas. Coronary heart disease (CHD) was detected in 11.1%, including 2.7% who had a history of myocardial infarction, 2.5% had exertional angina, its painless type was found in 5.9%. In males with CHD, arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity were more common and smoking was more infrequent than in those without the disease. The results of the 5-year follow-up showed that CHD males had higher total and cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction morbidity rates than males without CHD. Males with prior MI and pain-free CHD significantly differed from those from the control group in total and cardiovascular mortality rates. No statistically significant difference was found in MI mortality and morbidity rates between male patients with exertional angina and controls.

The aim of the work--the study of risk factors and detection of prevailing clinical form of diabetic foot infections (DFI) in dependence on type diabetes mellitus (DM). 157 patients with DM and DFI (25 type 1 DM cases and 132 type 2 DM cases) and 689 DM patients without DFI (282 type 1 DM cases and 407 type 2 DM cases) were examined. DFI cases differed from both type DM without DFI in greater number of complications. Associated with decompensated DM amputations and developing ulcerations were been mentioned in history in about a quarter of both type DM patients. DFI risk factors in type 1 DM appeared to be a combination of sensor and autonomic neuropathy (OR: 6.58; 95% CI: 2.74-14.9; a < 0.05), preprpoliferative retinopathy (RP) (OR: 4.62; 95% CI: 1.98-10.7; a < 0.05), in type 2 DM: macroangiopathy of lower extremities (OR: 4.59; 95% CI 2.98-7.1; a < 0.05), obesity (OR: 4.65; 95% CI 2.42-8.9; a < 0.05), concomitant exertional angina (OR 3.3; 95% CI 2.2-5.1; a < 0.05), a proteinuric stage of nephropathy (OR: 2.6; 95% CI: 1.74-3.9; a < 0.05), prominent sensor neuropathy (OR: 2.3; 95% CI 1.3-4.2; a < 0.05), preprpoliferative RP (OR: 2.1; 95% CI 1.41-3.13; a < 0.05). In type 1 DM and DFI neuropathic form of DFI prevailed (88%), in type 2 DM--neuroischemic form of DFI (66%). Ischemic form of DFI was determined in type 2 DM only (6%). In type 2 DM cases with DFI there was revealed a high rate of risk factors of atherosclerosis.

We compared the prevalence and duration of action of common risk factors (RF) of arterial hypertension (AH), smoking, alcohol abuse, excess consumption of animal fats and carbohydrates, psychoemotional stress, inherited risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), AH, diabetes mellitus (DM), overweight/obesity, hypercholesterolemia (HC) and hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) contributing to combined cardiovascular pathology. In addition, RF of myocardial infarction (MI) were elucidated. The study involved 190 patients with CHD including 82 (43.2%) and 108 (56.8%) (mean age 53. 0 +/- 0.6 yr) suffering functional class I-III angina of effort (AE), metabolic syndrome and DM2. A combination of such RF as AH, HC, and HTG, psychoemotional stress, unhealthy diet, overweight/obesity DM2, smoking, and alcohol abuse were found to be associated with CHD and MI. Four RF were identified in 37.4 and 31.1% of the men and women respectively, 5 FR in 33.1 and 39.5%, 6 RF in 29.5 and 15.3%; 7 RF were revealed in 14.1% of the men. The history of IM was documented in 101 (53.2%) patients, Q-wave IM in 55 (28.9%), non-Q-wave MI in 46 (24.3%). Q-wave MI occurred in 142 and 14.7% of men and women respectively; non-Q-wave MI occurred 1.2 times more frequently in women than in men. It is concluded that early diagnosis of RF in young and middle-aged subjects may promote prevention or slow down progression of metabolic syndrome, AH, CHD, and DM2.
