Post-Myocardial Infarction Heart Failure in Closed-chest Coronary Occlusion/Reperfusion Model in Göttingen Minipigs and Landrace Pigs

Abstract:
The age structure of myocardial infarction (IM) risk factors was elucidated in 976 men of different age (396 with primary and 580 with secondary IM) residing in Sankt-Peterburg. It was shown that primary and especially secondary IM are associated with a variety of risk factors and concomitant pathologies. Three or more risk factors were identified in patients of both age groups especially those with secondary IM which suggests a high risk of coronary disease. The commonest concomitant conditions in men below 60 years were ulcer disease, other gastrointestinal diseases, and chronic bronchitis whereas chole- and urolithiasis prevailed in elder subjects (especially with secondary IM).
