[Dispensary observation and survival of patients with a history of acute myocardial infarct in relation to the risk factors].

The observation was carried out on a group of 138 patients with a past history of acute myocardial infarction for a period of 5 years, after hospital and sanatorial treatment under the conditions of out-patient department. An age group from 30 to 78 years has been cowered with an average age of 59. The patients have been followed up in a clinical and paraclinical aspect according to certain parameters with the adequate drug treatment. The study brought forth the importance of the rhythm and conduction disorders, advanced after the infarction incidence, reinfarction and the following phenomenal of decompensation with post-hospital lethality. The existence of risk factors was confirmed to be with unfavourable effect as regards the remote prognosis of the patient. The importance of the adequate and purposeful follow-up of the patients, with a past history of acute myocardial infarction, is stressed upon as well as its significance for the increase of the percentage of survival during the post-hospital period.
