Development of atherosclerosis endemic focus of goiter Fergana valley

Morphometric indices of the coronary arteries of the heart and thyroid gland were studied in a population living in the Ferghana Valley, which considered an endemic focus of goiter. The natives of Uzbekistan, the frequency and prevalence of atherosclerosis was greater than that of the indigenous population. Complicated lesions and calcification in the vessels of the natives appear a decade earlier than in the indigenous population. A comparative study of the area of atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries of the heart and the morphofunctional state of the thyroid gland in indigenous men and natives, there is an inverse relationship, indicates a more severe nature of atherosclerosis in non-indigenous populations.
