Patient after cardiac infarction: risk factors that can cause new cardiovascular disasters

Over recent years there has been a trend for a decrease in lethality during an acute cardiac infarction period; but at the same time there is a growth in a number of patients who run high risks of recurrent adverse cardiovascular events. Despite secondary prevention measures having been introduced, frequency of recurrent cardiac infarctions is still high, and most of them occur during the first year. Our research goal was to reveal basic risk factors that cause recurrent adverse cardiovascular events in patients during the first year after a cardiac infarction. We questioned 40 patients living in Perm who had had cardiac infractions from September 2017 to July 2018 and who were undergoing polyclinic rehabilitation. To perform this questioning, we applied an original questionnaire.
