The aim: To determine national trends in morbidity and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases and strokes. Materials and methods: Data from official sources of statistical information of Ukraine were used and systematic analysis and generalization of the obtained data was performed and trends in morbidity and mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases and strokes in Ukraine were calculated. Results: Were found tendencies to decrease of national levels of prevalence and primary morbidity in Ukraine for DCS (-16.3 % and -28.0 %), CVD (-22.8 % and 24.1 %) and strokes (-12.2 %) with significant trends (+83.9 %) of increase in primary incidence of strokes in 2010-2017 with fairly high and threatening levels for 2017 (respectively 22199563, 2521601 and 96978 – prevalence and 1725137, 290557 and 96978 – primary incidence). National levels of reduction of deaths from DCS in Ukraine from 440369 (2013) to 389348 (2019) with a trend of -11.6 % and a decrease in mortality due to CVD from 94267 (2013) to 76232 (2019) with a trend -19.1 % were found. Conclusions: The trends to reduce of national prevalence, primary morbidity and mortality rates in Ukraine for DCS, CVD and stroke are fully consistent with other global trends of reduction of these levels among world countries.

Introduction:The high level of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is largely due toinsufficient influence on the main risk factors that contribute to the development of myocardial infarction.Therefore, a detailed study and assessment of risk factors is among the most important problems of medical and social importance. The aim: To study and evaluate the impact of biological, social and hygienic, social and economic, psychological, natural and climatic risk factors on the development of myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: A sociological survey was conducted in 500 people aged 34 to 85. They were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of 310 patients with myocardial infarction. The control group consisted of 190 practically healthy people, identical by age, gender and other parameters, without diseases of the cardiovascular system. Results: It was defined that 30 factors have a significant impact on the development of myocardial infarction.Data analysis revealed that the leading risk factors for myocardial infarction were biological and socio-hygienic. The main biological factors were: hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The man socio-hygienic factor was smoking. Conclusions: Identification of risk factors provides new opportunities for the development of more effective approaches for the prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction.
