Difference in the main factors of cardiovascular disease development and clinical picture of myocardial infarction in patients of different body types

The aim of study was to reveal the influence of body type on the risk factors of cardiovascular disease development and hospital period course of myocardial infarction. We have examined 76 men, average age 56.9±10.5 years, with diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The group was divided in to 3 subgroups according to their body type. We have revealed that for the majority of asthenics normal weight is typical, for normosthenics overweight is typical, hypersthenics are prone to obesity. Hypersthenic patients with myocardial infarction often have heart failure and relapse of myocardial infarction. Normosthenic patients with myocardial infarction often have rhythm disturbance.
