[Survival rate of the geriatric patients of native and non-native nationality with ischemic heart disease in Sakha Republic (Yakutia): analysis of 5-year catamnesis observation].

222 geriatric patients of native and non-native nationality with ischemic heart disease were supervised during 5 years. The analysis of survival rate (causes of death) has shown that 46.4% of patients (n = 103) died within this period of supervision. Results of the research show that the patients of senile age survived after myocardial infarction with Q wave and a high functional class of stable angina pectoris die authentically more often. Better survive rate demonstrate the patients with a smaller stage of heart failure; a tendency of more life expectancies at people who never smoked or have given up smoking has been also established. Besides these risk factors leading to the fatal complications, remodeling of left ventricle myocardium has the essential value. ECG -criteria often testified to presence in the patient the left ventricle hypertrophy: Sokolov-Layon and (especially often) Cornell-voltage Index. Speaking of accompanying diseases, cancer and brain catastrophe are the most frequent causes of death of the geriatric patients.
