Aim. To evaluate diagnostic significance of screening methodology for ischemic heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular disease (CD) and to adapt it to the outpatient and polyclinic conditions of primary medical care.Material and methods. Totally 303 patients investigated, of those 143 were men of 40–70 years old and 160 were women at the age 55–70 without signs of cognitive impairment, having appointed at general practitioner office “for any reason”. The investogation was done according to standard procedure including unified questionnaire for CHD, various forms of CD, and resting ECG evaluated by Minnesota code. For diagnosis verification all patients were examined by neurologist and cardiologist, additional methods used if needed.Results. The sensitivity of screening method for CHD reached 90,4%, specificity — 94,8%, for CD — 91,4% and 94,3%, respectively. In 19,8% of patients it was the first time to diagnose CD. Patients with arterial hypertension had various forms of CD in 55% cases. Also in 21% of participants chronic CD was diagnosed for the first time. Seventy six (25,1%) of hypertensives had cerbral crises in anamnesis, but this diagnosis appeared in outpatient charts only in 5,2% cases.Conclusion. Screening is diagnostically significant for CHD and CD detecting. It made possible to find out chronic forms of CD in every fifth individual in the study for the first time. An insufficient knowledge of outpatient care practitioners is shown on symptoms of chronic CD and cerebral hypertensive crises in patients with arterial hypertension.
Цель. Оценить эффективность применения унифицированного опросника для выявления различных форм цереброваскулярных заболеваний (ЦВЗ) у боль-ных артериальной гипертонией (АГ) среднего возраста, находящихся под наблюдением участкового терапевта. Материал и методы. Обследованы 257 чел. с АГ 1-3 степени, пришедших на прием к врачу-терапевту "по любому поводу". Проводился опрос с приме-нением унифицированного опросника, включающего вопросы для выявления вероятности острых форм ЦВЗ в анамнезе и хронических форм на момент обследования, вопросы для выявления болей в грудной клетке при напряже-нии и перемежающейся хромоты, выполнялась регистрация электрокардио-граммы (ЭКГ) с оценкой по Миннесотскому коду. Верификация диагноза осу-ществлялась независимыми врачами-специалистами -неврологом и кардио-логом, назначавшими при необходимости дополнительные методы обследования. Результаты. Различные формы ЦВЗ диагностированы у 148 (57,6%) больных АГ, в том числе острые формы в анамнезе -у 21 (8,2%) чел., хронические формы на момент обследования -у 53 (20,6%) чел., острые в сочетании с хроническими формами -у 74 (28,8%) чел. Ранее не диагностированные ЦВЗ определены у 20,2% больных. Гипертонический церебральный криз (ГЦК) до начала исследования имелся в амбулаторной карте у 4 (1,6%) чел., в 72 (28,0%) случаях данный диагноз был установлен впервые с помощью унифи-цированного опросника. Заключение. Применение унифицированного опросника у больных АГ повы-шает выявляемость начальных форм хронической цереброваскулярной пато-логии и ГЦК, перспективных с точки зрения профилактики развития инсульта. Опросник может быть использован в условиях поликлиники, в частности при диспансеризации взрослого населения. Aim. To assess the effectiveness of the use of a unified questionnaire for various cerebrovascular diseases types screening (CVD) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of middle age that are under general physician observation. Material and methods. Totally 257 pts. screened with AH 1-3 grade, admitted general physician "by any complaint". The survey performed with a unified questionnaire that includes questions for the chance of acute CVD types onset in anamnesis and chronic types at the moment of screening, questions on the chest pain assessment with exertion, and intermittent claudication, ECg registered with Minnesota coding. Diagnosis verification was done by independent physiciansneurologist and cardiologist, who ordered additional investigation methods.Results. Various CVD types were diagnosed in 148 (57,6%) patients with AH, including acute types in anamnesis -in 21 (8,2%), chronic at the moment of study -in 53 (20,6%), acute and chronic -in 74 (28,8%). Previously nondiagnosed types found in 20,2% of patients. Hypertensive cerebral crisis (HCC) before the beginning of study was mentioned in the patient's chart in 4 (1,6%) patients, in 72 (28,0%) cases this diagnosis was set first time with the unified questionnaire.Conclusion. The usage of unified questionnaire in AH patients increases the rate of finding of chronic cerebro...
