MODERN POTENTIAL OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION TREATMENT IN THE POLYCLINIC SETTINGS (LECTURE)

Abstract

This lecture, aimed at the primary healthcare practitioners, is focused on the complex rehabilitation and dispanserisation of myocardial infarction (MI) patients in the polyclinic settings. The evidence from the available Russian and international literature, as well as from the original author’s findings, is presented. The section on non-pharmacological MI treatment emphasises the role of risk factor modification. The modern views on the long-term pharmacological recurrence prevention are discussed in detail.
