Sažetak
In a 5-year period analyzed were cardiovascular risk factors in 55 patients suffering from premature coronary accidents (below the age of 45) and in their 97 offsprings, aged 3-26 years. In 50 of these children (51, 6%), 22 girls and 28 boys, in addition to the obvious positive family history, detected were other cardiovascular risk factors. The most common among them was hypercholesterolemia (in 45, 0%), followed by arterial hypertension (40, 0%), obesity (32, 0%) and smoking (24, 0%). Mayority of these offsprings (64, 0%) had only one additional risk factor. The average blood pressure, relative weight and cholesterol levels were significantly higher ih these very children than in all the coronary offsprings (p < 0, 05), and even more so (p < 0, 01) than in the matching control sample.
