ABSTRACT
Aim: To analyze the morbidity from cardiovascular diseases, in particular coronary heart disease, angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction in Ukraine in 2018-2023. Materials and Methods: The study uses data from the Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine on hospitalizations and average duration of care for CHD, angina pectoris, and AMI patients in Ukraine during 2018-2023. The epidemiological method and the method of estimating dynamic series were used. Results: For 2018-2023, a decrease in hospitalization rate of CHD (growth rate 65.3%), angina pectoris (GR 69.7%) and a slight decrease in patients with AMI (GR 98.5%) patients was found. 2020-2022 saw a decrease in hospitalization rates for CHD and angina patients, which arose as a result of reduced access to care. In AMI, hospitalization rate decreased slightly, but the proportion of all its forms among all hospitalized patients increased in 2020-2022, while hospitalization for CHD and angina decreased. The decrease in the hospitalization rate in 2020-2022 indicates a reduced level of diagnosis of AMI and a possible lack of seeking specialized medical care and lack of adequate treatment for its atypical forms, which confirms the increase in the hospitalization rate of patients with AMI in 2023, when pandemic-related restrictions were lifted. Conclusions: During 2018-2023, the hospitalization rate for CHD, angina pectoris, and AMI patients decreased in Ukraine. It changed the most during 2020- 2022 as a result of reduced access to medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
