Abstract:
The authors provide the results of carrying out individual preventive measures in groups at high risk for acute disorders of brain circulation and myocardial infarction, recognized with the aid of cards for predicting the occurrence of brain strokes. A total of 7,154 workers of an automobile factory and 4,000 persons aged over 40 years attending two polyclinics of Minsk underwent examination. 8.49 and 10.28% of the examined made up respective groups at high risk. During 2 years of carrying out individual preventive measures, the brain stroke and myocardial infarction incidence declined, thereby supporting the efficacy of the strategy of "high risk" in persons over 40 years.
