[Sudden cardiac death of contract servicemen].

Myocardial infarction and coronary spasm are the main causes of sudden cardiac death among contract servicemen. However, 23% of such cases exhibit no organic pathology. Multifunctional analysis revealed a number of anamnestic, laboratory, and instrumental parameters correlating with sudden death. It is concluded that stratification of risks of sudden cardiac death requires taking into account not only biological and social factors but also some specific ones inherent in military service, such as performing general and command duties, combat missions, military education, night duties, etc.
