CLINICAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF LONG-LIVED PATIENTS WITH ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE AND STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING DIAGNOSIS AND PREVENTION

Аннотация

Aging is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) because the likelihood of cardiovascular disease increases with age. Increasing life expectancy, especially among the elderly, is associated with an increased incidence of CHD. The main risk factors include heredity, climatic conditions, as well as high cholesterol, diabetes mellitus, smoking and overweight. Long-term survivors often have chronic diseases, weakened immune system and digestive system disorders. Research on the epidemiology and prevention of IBS in the elderly remains a poorly reported topic.
