Conservative and surgical treatment in them produce almost similar results as regards survival and incidence of acute myocardial infarction.

[Choice of treatment methods in initial forms of ischemic heart disease].

The authors examined 125 patients with initial forms of ischemic heart disease (duration of no more than 2 months).
