A cohort retrospective historical study of all the patients who had been diagnosed an ischemic heart disease between January, 1997, and December, 2000, was conducted at the office of Cardiology of "Faustino Pérez" Hospital, in Matanzas. Their follow-up was extended to December 2001 to characterize them and to determine the prognostic factors influencing their further survival. The accumulated survival curves and the accumulated survival average time (54 months, IC 95 % = 52;56) were obtained, with a survival probability of 0.86. The patients with the worst prognosis were those among whom an ergometric diagnostic test was associated with displacement of the ST segment over 2 mm at advanced age and presence of hypercholesterolemia.
