Modern Trends of Mortality from Cardiovascular Diseases in the Novgorod Region

Over-mortality (68%) due to cardiovascular diseases is typical for the Novgorod region. Among external causes of death, the mental, endocrine, musculoskeletal system diseases and road traffic injuries are the most underestimated. The analysis revealed a problem of poor quality of intravital diagnosis and inadequate treatment of patients with cardiac pathology, taking into account the multiplicity of concomitant diagnoses. The causes of death analyzed are rarely comparable with the data of intravital observations on the main classes of diseases, which indicates the widespread prevalence of medical errors.
