Die Häufigkeit der Koronarkrankheit in der Schweiz aus europäischer Sicht

  • Published:

Résumé

La Suisse se range bas entre les pays Européens, concernant la mortalité des maladies cardiaques ischémiques. L'évidence d'études sur terrain, de toute faÇon, suggère que cette mortalité est sousestimée. Toutefois, en Suisse comme en France, la maladie est probablement moins d'ordre général qu'en certains autres pays comparables. La différence des chiffres ne semble s'expliquer par les facteurs de risques les plus importants. La nécessité de recherches ultérieures s'impose.

Summary

Switzerland ranks low in ischaemic heart disease mortality amongst the European countries. Evidence from field studies, however, would suggest that mortality is underestimated. Nevertheless, in Switzerland, like in France, the disease is probably rather less common than in some other comparable countries. The difference seems unexplained by the major, known risk factors, indicating a need for further research.
