[Correlative relationship between coronary arteriosclerosis and stromogenic cardiosclerosis in ischemic heart disease (stereometric study)].

Stereometric studies showed that the volumetric portion of diffuse stromagenic cardiosclerosis in the myocardium increased in parallel with the prolongation of the course of ischemic heart disease and with an increase in the average values of atherosclerotic involvement of the intima of coronary arteries and was inversely related to the index of retention of the total summary functioning lumen of the coronary arteries. There is a direct correlative relationship between the degree of narrowing of the summary functioning lumen and the intensity of stromagenic cardiosclerosis, increasing with the prolongation of the course of the disease.
