[The clinical classification of ischemic heart disease]
Abstract:
The IHD classification needs to be brought up-to-date, for the existing IHD classifications according to WHO and All-Union Research Centre for Cardiology of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR have already become outdated and require additions to be made. In view of the above-stated, the contributors to this article propose an updated IHD classification, having supplemented it with new forms of the disease. This will help physicians in studying pathogenesis, clinical course of the disease, as well as in developing specific therapies and preventive measures to be instituted in this particular disease.
