On lifetime recognition of ventricular aneurysms

Thanks, to a large extent, to the works of our authors (Kernig, Obraztsov, Strazhesko, Pletnev, Egorov, Bukhshtab), lifetime diagnosis of myocardial infarction has ceased to be a rarity, "it has become available to a practitioner" (Strazhesko, Barnes). Research by Pardel, Barnes, Wilson and others have shown that heart attacks are frequent and in a “erased”, “camouflaged” form. Giebson says that in general, in the case of “unmotivated” heart weakness in the elderly, one should think about myocardial infarction. A heart attack does not always lead to a fatal outcome. Giebson, in an old work (1925), describes scars after heart attacks a decade ago. Padillo and Cassio followed the fate of 92 patients after myocardial infarction. The mortality rate during the year was 38%, of which 19% immediately and 14% during the first month after a heart attack. In other cases, there was an improvement.
