Abstract

The aim of our study is to examine the influence of social status of myocardial infarction (MI) patients on the ways of hospitalization and treatment of this disease.

Materials and methods. The study uses data from medical records of in-patients. Methods used: copying of data, statistical and analytical methods.

Results. For the study, we selected three groups of patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction who had coronary artery stenting (CAS) (first group), thrombolytic therapy (TLT) (second group) and traditional treatment (third group). The analysis of ways of referral of patients for hospitalization showed that those first and second groups are often transported for hospital treatment by the first aid crew (FAC). The study of the social status of patients with myocardial infarction showed a significant predominance of pensioners (57.8%) over other categories.

Conclusions. 1. We have established that patients with myocardial infarction who underwent CAS often arrived in hospitals upon referral of FAC or other health care facilities. MI patients who underwent thrombolytic therapy also mostly arrived upon referral of FACs.

2. Persons of retirement age had significantly less CAS and TLT and they often arrived for in-patient treatment upon referral of doctor's at outpatient clinics.
