[Atherosclerosis risk factors in patients examined by coronarography. I. Selection and evaluation of risk factors].

The significance of individual risk-factors associated with the ischaemic heart disease is known to be estimated differently in various stages. In this account, still more screening and evaluation of mentioned factors is continuously needed in facing different social, economical, demographical and geographical conditions. The analysis has been made of such risk-factors which are generally precluded as decisive ones (age, sex, blood lipid levels, cigarette smoking, higher blood pressure, obesity, diabetes mellitus). The majority of these factors and their interrelations may be influenced. Of special author's concern were different dependencies between the selective groups of coronarographied patients and the groups defined with mainly clinical symptomatology. Authors suggest that the analysis of proper group may be supportive in order to formulate such a complicated topic and outline the appropriate trends of secondary prevention also in their conditions.
