The number of heart diseases abruptly increased in Shirak
marz. According to the regional Cardio-Rheumatic Department chief
Arthur Stepanyan the number of patients within the 3 months of the
current year increased by 80 in comparison with the previous year data.
There have been about 280 in-patients in the regional hospital
since January. Their number has abruptly increased in the recent
days. According to the specialists this increase is determined by
the abrupt weather changes. Most of the patients are in complicated
hypertonic crisis; they have heart problems, attacks and violations
of heart rhythm.
The cardiologists state one important fact; the heart diseases prevail
among women recently. If only one out of 6 patients suffering heart
problems was a woman in the previous years now their number has also
increased. Men suffer from the illness more rarely.
There were 5 cases of death within the recent 3 months, and 2 of the
patients died because of chronical heart insufficiency.
