| Popis: | In the modern worldcardiovascular pathology associated with atherosclerosis has become one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality of the population, besides, the combined lesion of several vascular pools leads to a worse prognosis at the moment. A simple method of detecting obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities vessels, which makes it possible to assess the severity of this lesion, is the ankle-brachial index (ABI). A random sample of cardiac patients was examined (N=91). The ABI indices were analyzed by screening method (by measuring systolic blood pressure (SBP) on both brachial arteries and arteries of the foot). In connection with the clinic of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among hospitalized patientswe identified a significant proportion of people with subclinical, previously unidentified atherosclerotic lesions of peripheral arteries. Were identified the group of the maximal risk of subclinical peripheral atherosclerosis. The group of the greatest risk of peripheral atherosclerosis is singled out: males, of the older age group, smokers, with acute cerebrovascular insufficiency and acute myocardial infarction in anamnesis. It has been proposed to include an ABI study in a diagnostic standard for cardiac patients regardless of the presence of complaints. |
