Acute Coronary Syndromes in Deployed Military Personnel

Abstract: Young military men are regarded as the epitome of health and fitness; however, findings from this study suggest that this generally low-risk group do indeed have multiple CV risk factors and experience ACS. Early risk factor assessment and modification, including smoking cessation, weight management, and improving dyslipidemia, is essential.

На тлі військових дій, посттравматичного стресового розладу спостерігається прогресування атеросклеротичного процесу, що може призвести до виникнення інфаркту міокарда навіть у молодих людей [21,22,23,24,25]. У зоні бойових дій немає можливості своєчасно діагностувати гострий коронарний синдром (ГКС), тим більше надати спеціалізовану медичну допомогу в рамках терапевтичного вікна, що призводить до виникнення ускладнених форм ішемічної хвороби серця (ІХС).…”
