Abstract

Coronary heart disease (CHD) in recent decades steadily occupies one of the leading positions in the structure of cardiovascular disease (CVD) treatment, disability and mortality among the socially significant population in the economically developed countries of the world. In Europe and North America there are 30-40 thousand patients with CHD per 1 million people. According to the Framingham study, in 40.7% of cases, angina pectoris is the first manifestation of CHD in men and in 56.5% of cases - in women. IHD is more common in men aged 40-65 years, in women of the same age - 40.4% [3,4,6,14].
