Aim. То analyse acute myocardial infarction (AMI) mortality in Tomsk City population over the period of 1997— 2006.Material and methods. The methods and diagnostic criteria of WHO programme “AMI Register” were used.Results. Over the follow-up period, a significant reduction in AMI mortality was observed in the last two years — in all population (from 2,73 to 2,46 and 2,45 cases per 1000; p<0,05), in men (from 3,71 to 3,34 and 3,35; p<0,05) and women (from 1,93 to 1,74 and 1,73; p<0,05). This reduction was due to decreased primary AMI case number and was observed in both younger and older age groups. No evidence of increased AMI rates in younger groups was available.Conclusion. After a long period of high stable AMI mortality in Tomsk City population, a tendency for its decrease had emerged. It could be explained by socioeconomic factors, forcing patients with high AMI risk to treat their pre-existent cardiovascular disease more actively.
