[Respiratory infections as a risk factor for patients with ischemic heart disease].

The effect of respiratory infection (influenza, parainfluenza, adenovirus and enterovirus) on clinical and functional states was assessed for coronary (n-850) and noncoronary (n-250) patients. The infection-related pathology turned out more severe in coronary patients. Disaggregation agents were found useful in early diagnosis of coronary heart disease and prevention thereof.
