La universidad digital: aproximación a un análisis crítico de los planes de transformación digital de las universidades públicas españolas
Authors: Castañeda Linda , Esteve-Mon Francesc , Adell Jordi
Published: April 2023

En un contexto en que la transformación digital ya lleva casi una década posicionándose como prioritaria para las instituciones de Educación Superior y en el que la reciente pandemia y sus condiciones no ha hecho más que azuzar y generalizar más si cabe esta apuesta por lo digital, es tiempo de contribuir a propuestas de análisis que propongan otras lógicas de esa transformación que nos permitan entender cómo son los planes de transformación digital de nuestras universidades. Así, en este trabajo se realiza un análisis de los planes de transformación digital de las universidades públicas españolas, en el que se parte de tres elementos básicos de análisis: ¿cómo responde el plan a la misión de la universidad?, ¿qué factores de implementación considera prioritarios? y ¿a qué participantes involucra y afecta? Desde estas preguntas de investigación se propone un análisis documental que nos ofrece un panorama muy variado que pone de relieve la gran heterogeneidad de nuestras instituciones públicas, el largo camino que queda por recorrer a algunas de ellas, la unánime apuesta por una transformación claramente centrada en la gestión TIC y un horizonte de transformación con mucho margen para la mejora. Además, el análisis y el contexto que lo sitúa nos llama la atención sobre la necesidad de que estos procesos que siguen en marcha y continúan, no se conviertan en una oportunidad perdida para repensar y transformar verdaderamente nuestra visión de la visión de la universidad para el futuro.
Compromiso escolar y TIC: una revisión sistemática de literatura
Authors: Chiappe Andres , Torres Maria Emelina , Piraquive Javier Orlando
Published: April 2023

It is remarkable the lack of interest and motivation that occurs during adolescence, especially in matters related to school, which generates later dropout problems and low academic performance, especially in developing countries. Regarding this, school engagement becomes a matter of great interest for educational researchers and practitioners, especially at a time when Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) conditions the relationship of adolescents with the school. To increase the understanding of this phenomenon, a systematic literature review was conducted with the purpose of identifying aspects of the use of ICT in school engagement strengthening. Results highlight the collaborative activities, active student participation and ICT pedagogy, and skills development as the main enablers of the increase of their confidence and learning goals achievement.
Pedagogía crítica postdigital y justicia social bioinformacional
Authors: Jandrić Petar , Escaño Carlos , Mañero Julia
Published: April 2023

Este artículo presenta las últimas contribuciones de la pedagogía crítica en y para nuestro contexto postdigital, analizándolo desde el prisma del capitalismo bioinformacional y filosófico de la justicia social. De esta manera, se describirá el marco de acción y desarrollo de la pedagogía crítica postdigital examinando sus conexiones con la biología, la información y la sociedad. Debido a la imposibilidad de definir los conceptos de manera exacta, la pedagogía crítica postdigital y la noción de justicia social bioinformacional se analizarán centrándose en dos hechos: el uso (educativo) del big data y los algoritmos, y la ecopedagogía postdigital. Así, a lo largo de estas líneas se expondrá por qué la justicia social bioinformacional solo puede alcanzarse plenamente mediante la abolición del capitalismo bioinformacional, examinando la justicia social bioinformacional como una utopía crítica. Esta premisa se sustenta en las recientes convergencias tecnocientíficas, donde el big data y los algoritmos son (directa o indirectamente) bioinformacionales y políticos. Así, la ecopedagogía postdigital transforma las relaciones tradicionales entre el opresor y el oprimido, introduciendo una utopía crítica postdigital donde se establece una simetría entre actores humanos y no humanos, buscando respuestas en la filosofía crítica de la tecnología y el sociomaterialismo. La denominada pedagogía crítica postdigital se presenta como punto de partida de la última reinvención de la obra de Freire para nuestra realidad postdigital, abordando desde este trabajo temas centrales y necesarios para la lucha contemporánea por la justicia social en nuestro mundo bioinformacional.
Profesores que forman profesores en Portugal: ¿qué perfil investigador? ¿Qué condiciones?
Authors: LEITE CARLINDA , SOUSA-PEREIRA FÁTIMA , MARINHO PAULO
Published: April 2023

Reconociendo la importancia de que, en la enseñanza superior, los formadores de maestros tengan una fuerte implicación en la investigación educativa, se realizó un estudio para caracterizar el perfil investigador de los profesores que, en Portugal, son responsables de unidades curriculares fuertemente relacionadas con la práctica docente. Como procedimiento metodológico, se analizaron las fichas curriculares de todos los profesores que imparten, en instituciones públicas y privadas, cursos de formación de maestros para la enseñanza primaria y secundaria, es decir, de 1º a 12º grado. Los datos de este análisis documental, tratados mediante estadísticas simples, se complementaron con estudios de casos, en los que se entrevistó a coordinadores de cursos, cuyos profesores tenían diferentes perfiles de investigación. Los discursos de los entrevistados se interpretaron mediante un análisis de contenido. El perfil de investigación se centró, entre otros aspectos, en la participación en proyectos y publicaciones. Los resultados muestran que, en general, la participación en la investigación es escasa y las publicaciones existentes son pocas, principalmente en revistas indexadas en Scopus o Web of Science. Esta situación se justifica por la falta de condiciones que permitan a los profesores disponer de tiempo para el ejercicio de la investigación, lo que muestra la necesidad de que las instituciones de educación superior inviertan en condiciones que contribuyan a las actividades de desarrollo profesional asociadas a la investigación relacionada con la práctica profesional docente.
Los Imaginarios sociotécnicos de la política educativa digital en México (2012-2022)
Authors: Dussel Inés , Williams Federico
Published: April 2023

Este artículo presenta un análisis de las políticas educativas mexicanas sobre tecnologías digitales y desigualdad a partir del concepto de “imaginarios sociotécnicos” de Jasanoff y Kim (2015). El corpus está compuesto por más de 220 documentos del período 2012-2022, que corresponde a dos administraciones (sexenios) con orientaciones políticas contrapuestas, e incluye fuentes oficiales y “literatura gris” (periódicos y blogs). Estos documentos se analizaron buscando problematizaciones y puntos nodales relevantes sobre la imaginación de futuros sociotécnicos a partir del software Infranodus y de una lectura crítica.

Los resultados permiten reflexionar sobre las prioridades educativas en relación con las tecnologías digitales y la desigualdad en ambos periodos. Pese a la retórica contrapuesta de ambos sexenios, hay algunos supuestos compartidos: la asociación directa entre tecnologías digitales y crecimiento económico, la retórica de la inevitabilidad del cambio tecnológico, y la posibilidad de reducir la desigualdad con ofertas virtuales que amplíen la cobertura. Entre los puntos divergentes, en el sexenio reciente hay más preocupación por la desigualdad, un desplazamiento discursivo hacia conceptos como cultura digital y otros que quieren superar las visiones tecnocráticas. Sin embargo, no hay referencias al Big Data ni a la colonización de datos, y lo digital aparece restringido a mejorar ingresos y acceder a equipos y conectividad. La ausencia de orientaciones y debates respecto al avance de la algoritmización en la educación y a la nueva gobernanza digital plantea preguntas sobre la capacidad de estas políticas de orientar las prácticas educativas ante los desafíos contemporáneos.

¿Quién fumó en estos “cachimbos”? La colección de pipas cerámicas de Santa Fe la vieja (Cayastá, dpto. Garay, prov. De Santa Fe, Argentina)
Authors: Ceruti Carlos , Richard Alejandro
Published: April 2023

Las prácticas relativas al consumo de fumitorios en el mundo colonial rioplatense, constituyen en parte un continuum con aquellas desarrolladas por los diversos grupos indígenas en momentos previos a la llegada de los europeos. El sistema colonial, por otra parte, introdujo elementos que giraron en torno a la organización socio económica, el mundo simbólico, la estructuración del espacio urbano y rural, la institución esclavista y una intensa circulación de ideas, personas y objetos. En el presente trabajo se exponen algunos resultados preliminares de investigaciones relacionadas con la colección de pipas cerámicas de Santa Fe la Vieja (siglo XVII), destacando la presencia de elementos europeos, indígenas y africanos o afrodescendientes. Se realizó una primera clasificación de las pipas según su morfología, y se identificaron patrones decorativos asociados a la población esclavizada, considerando su circulación en el espacio atlántico en ambos sentidos.
Geografías de violencia y prácticas perfomáticas. Un ejercicio cartográfico sobre las constelaciones político-afectivas del Chaco Salteño
Authors: Balbé Wanda
Published: April 2023

Este trabajo articula analítica y críticamente distintos procesos violentos que atraviesa el Chaco Salteño con las celebraciones del Arete Guasu y las máscaras chané a través de un ejercicio cartográfico. Partiendo de un trabajo etnográfico en Campo Durán y Tuyunti, recupera algunas memorias que dan cuenta de la manera en que las prácticas performáticas han tenido relevancia en la reproducción de la vida —material, simbólica, afectiva— de las comunidades en contextos históricos-políticos marcados por experiencias de marginación y estigmatización y en geografías de poder multiescalares. Considerando el Chaco Salteño como una geografía de frontera, propone la construcción de un mapa para espacializar las memorias relevadas, reconocer las constelaciones político-afectivas y comprender cómo las dimensiones históricas y cotidianas de la violencia tienen su expresión estético -política en la producción de máscaras, en los corsos de carnaval y en las celebraciones del Arete Guasu. Estas prácticas locales pueden entenderse como una materialidad afectante que condensa los procesos acumulados en el territorio y moviliza y resignifica colectivamente las experiencias vividas en función de modos propios de pensar-hacer-desear la propia existencia en esas geografías.

Authors: Sheppard Joseph Zalman
Published: April 2023

The PsychoEducation Tensor (PET)® is a 4x4 diamond-shaped skew-Hermitian tensor transformational matrix describing 16 Vygotskian-like elementary mental processes (EM). The PET divides into a 7-element metacognitive component called EM-Path, represented by colours and letters, and a 9-element cognitive component called EM-Core, represented by numbers. The elements are organized according to the scientific literature on the organization of mind wandering and spontaneous cognitions. The PET® was designed as a psychoeducational tool to help reduce psychological distress and mental perplexity. The PET® further integrates with dual complementary classical and quantum models of physics. Moreover, the PET® interfaces with dual physical stimuli environments and socially constructed propositional narratives. The PET® may also serve as a Minimalist program for cognitive architecture. Furthermore, The PET® may be used as a psychoeducational clinical intervention, an approach to coherently organize the six cognitive domains of the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework, and to help integrate diverse psychological theories into a global model of cognition.

Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of environmental and legal problems caused by the war in Ukraine, which should be considered comprehensively, as environmental security issues can easily transform into social threats. The article proves that the pollution caused by the war has a significant negative transboundary impact, in particular, the Russian invasion has not only damaged the environment of Ukraine, but also threatened the achievement of climate goals and even the world's ability to adapt to climate change. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive study and analysis of national and international environmental, humanitarian and criminal law through the prism of modern environmental challenges and threats. In this regard, the methodological basis of the article is a set of general philosophical, general scientific, special scientific and legal methods. The paper also analyzes the impact of modern threats in the field of environmental security on the state of national security, as well as the state of implementation of measures in the field of environmental security. Based on their own conclusions and generalizations, the authors' proposals and recommendations for improving the current national legislation and greening the sectoral components of national policy are presented.
The Threat of Evaluation in Research and Development
Authors: MacDonald William R.
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Program evaluation, as practised by the evaluation community, is seldom performed on research and development (R&D) programs. Scientists and research managers are threatened by formal program evaluation, and therefore do not initiate or support evaluations. This threat is due to three major factors inherent in the scientific community or in organizations in general: the mythology of science, ignorance, and the fear of discovery. The evidence given here suggests that each factor consists of several issues, some being the myth that research programs cannot be evaluated, that managers and scientists do not know about evaluation methods, and that they are afraid of program changes and outside evaluators. The current situation is not expected to change without a fundamental shift within the R&D community itself.
Victim-Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) Evaluation Issues
Authors: Galaway Burt
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The victim offender reconciliation (VORP) concept originated in Ontario in 1973; subsequently program applications have occurred in other parts of Canada, the United States, England, and the Federal Republic of Germany. Most VORP's are small, grass roots organizations but as these programs mature and seek continuation funding they are likely to encounter demands for program evaluation. For evaluations to be useful VORP program managers and evaluators will need to direct explicit attention to goals for VORP's, the place of the concept of reconciliation in VORP programs, the purposes of evaluations, and the development of easily understood formats for presentation of statistical information.

The Catalogue of Goals for Residential Treatment: An Individualized Outcome Measure for Residential Children's Programs
Authors: Pancer S. Mark
Published: April 2023

Abstract: This article outlines the development of the Catalogue of Goals for Residential Treatment (CGRT), and how it was used in the evaluation of a residential summer camp program for children with learning disabilities and behaviour problems. The CGRT consists of 34 goals, grouped into seven major categories. Each goal is accompanied by four statements that describe a range of functioning within that goal area, from poor to good. In using the CGRT, staff teams selected goals for each child from the Catalogue. Ratings on those goals were made at the beginning and end of the camp session, and a goal prograss score was computed for each child. Changes in the CGRT were significantly correlated with other, more standardized measures of children's emotional adjustment, and the CGRT appeared to be more sensitive to change than other measures. The CGRT was also evaluated according to its appropriateness for the client group. Its psychometric soundness, its administrative efficiency, and its usefulness in service delivery and program management.
Organizational Schema for Management Control of Quality Care: A Program Perspective
Authors: O'Brien Nancy , Rennebohm Heather , Lowe Cynthia
Published: April 2023

Abstract: The present research had two objectives. The first was to differentiate between quality assessment and quality assurance. The second was to develop and illustrate the use of a conceptual framework for management control of quality care.

This study was founded on the belief that quality care is evaluated on the basis of values held by the consumers and the providers of that care. This belief led to the development of a model which articulated and synthesized the value systems of the two parties. The model permitted the identification of quality care indicators from which organizational goals and objectives were derived.

In bringing the development of goals and objectives to its logical conclusion in the traditional quality assurance methodology, the study went on to identify a system through which standards could be developed from goals and controlled. The outcome of that process constituted a component of a comprehensive management information system that would complement a financial control component in addressing issues of cost effectiveness and clinical effectiveness.
Evaluation Principles in Practice
Authors: Myers Anita M. , Gonda Gail
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Since all programs operate within an organizational setting, the utility of evaluation activities can be enhanced by considering an organization's structure, evaluation readiness, and the related functions of evaluators. This article focuses on the application of a set of complementary principles derived from the evaluation literature using three projects as case studies. Two of the projects involved large Canadian health-related organizations, while the third focused on the evaluation needs of a medium-size social service agency. The diversity of these projects attests to the general relevance of principles derived from the systems model, the evaluation capability model, and the evaluator as consultant approach.
On the Use and Misuse of Input-Output Based Impact Analysis in Evaluation
Authors: Grady Patrick , Muller R. Andrew
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Estimates of economic activity generated and jobs created that are derived using input-output analysis are often presented in program evaluations and confused with the benefits resulting from the program. Two such cases are presented as examples. We argue that for two main reasons this type of analysis constitutes a misuse of input-output analysis. First, input-output estimates generated using the Keynesian closed versions of input-output models are biased upwards because they ignore the price and financial feedbacks that tend to reduce multipliers in macroeconomic models. Second, and more important, it is inappropriate to consider induced effects resulting from a particular program in isolation, because such effects can only be properly considered in the aggregate at the level of overall stabilization policy. In this paper we contend that cost-benefit analysis, with its assumption of full employment, is the most appropriate tool for analyzing the benefits resulting from particular programs. Input-output analysis should be confined to providing estimates of the industrial or regional breakdown of the direct impact of a program or of the employment impacts of program spending. It should not be used to generate Keynesian multipliers.
Professionalism and School-Based Program Evaluation
Authors: Ryan Alan G.
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Participating in program evaluations is a new part of the classroom teacher's role. If teachers are to embrace the opportunities provided by this participation, they need to understand the process of program evaluation and to appreciate its potential to empower them in their professional lives. This article discusses these issues in the context of Saskatchewan's current curriculum change and offers an illustration of one instance where participating in a proper evaluation study did enhance the professionalism of a teacher.
Assessing Patient Satisfaction with Health Care: Did You Drop Somebody?
Authors: Blais Régis
Published: April 2023

Abstract: This study has three objectives: (a) to compare socio-demographic characteristics of dropouts and completers of a health promotion program, (b) to assess each group's satisfaction with specific aspects of the program, and (c) to investigate the reasons for dropout. Data were collected by means of individual structured interviews with 19 dropouts and 20 completers randomly selected. Results show that the two groups do not differ on socio-demographic variables. Completers were significantly more satisfied than dropouts with only a few aspects of care. Investigating dropouts' motives added key information. We conclude that useful measurement of patient satisfaction should focus on specific aspects of care and on survey dropouts as well as completers, and should assess dropouts' motives.
Onnagata, Grotesque Beauty, and Aging: Reading Tennessee Williams’s Kabuki-Inspired Plays
Authors: Sakai Takashi
Published: April 2023

This article examines Tennessee Williams’s kabuki-inspired plays, which were written after his first trip to Japan in 1959. I focus on And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens… (1957–70), which Williams began writing in 1957 but completed after his trip to Japan, and the 1964 version of The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, a play that Williams rewrote several times from 1962 to 1964. In so doing, I demonstrate how Williams used and modified kabuki traditions under the guidance of his Japanese friend, the acclaimed novelist and playwright Yukio Mishima. In And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens … the art of acting by the onnagata (male actors who play female roles in kabuki), especially those who live as “women” even off stage, underlies the male protagonist’s exploration of transgender identity as well as his female gender presentation. In The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, Williams seeks to transform the perceived grotesqueries of aging into allure by using kabuki’s aesthetic principles of “grotesque beauty” and “necrophilic” nostalgia, which had also been expressed in Hollywood films featuring older movie actresses. He deliberately wrote the role of the female protagonist for Tallulah Bankhead, who starred in the 1964 production, with the intention of celebrating her aging body through kabuki aesthetics.
The image of gypsies in the Chuvash linguistic culture
Authors: Fomin Eduard Valentinovich , Illarionova Lilia Vladimirovna
Published: April 2023

The work is devoted to the analysis of the image of gypsies in the Chuvash linguistic culture. In the message, linguoculture is understood as a phenomenon that summarizes all manifestations of culture reflected through language. The study is based on the Chuvash linguistic material, folklore and literary texts, as well as other information related to the gypsies. The study is based on a scientific analysis of the Chuvash speech products marked by the mention of gypsies and is generally retrospective in nature. Nevertheless, the conclusions are still relevant in today’s realities. Gypsies in Chuvashia are a newly-minted ethnic group, to a small extent introduced into its social reality and closed from the outside world. They are not included in the circle of peoples who are in close contact with the Chuvashs, however, they are often mentioned in folklore texts from the positions of ethnocentrism, most of which determine their negative perception. At the same time, the image of gypsies is reflected in Chuvash fiction, and here they are mainly described as positive characters, objectively requiring empathy, if only because they are part of the central characters. Chuvash ideas about gypsies largely correlate with their perception by Russians.
About N. P. Steinfeld’s Comparative Besermian Dictionary
Authors: Maksimov Sergey Anatolyevich
Published: April 2023

The work is devoted to the study of one of the first written sources representing the Besermian dialect. Such sources are of particular importance, because the problem of the ethnic history of the Besermians is still debatable. In the work the descriptive method and partly the method of etymological analysis were used. In the analysis of the vocabulary material, special attention was paid to the correct reading of words and their interpretation. N. P. Steinfeld did not develop a clear system for transmitting the sounds of the Besermian dialect. However, it seems to us that the confusion in fixing words is primarily a reflection of the pronunciation features that the compiler of the dictionary tried to catch in the process of fixing each word. In some cases, he noticed such features in the speech of the Besermians that eluded even experienced linguists. As for the vocabulary, it should be said that most of the Besermian words have a common Udmurt distribution. The proximity of the Besermian dialect not only to the Northern, but also to the Southern dialect of the Udmurt language is observed. There are few own Besermian lexical units. Among them there are Tatar and Chuvash loanwords that are absent in other dialects. In this source, we have not identified Bulgarisms used only in the Besermian dialect.
Основы общей теории патологии (часть 1)
Authors: Prokopchuk V. S.
Published: April 2023

Технологическая революция коренным образом повлияла на мировоззрение врачей. Ведущая роль разума, логики и целостного подхода к познанию болезни, душевности и сострадания к больному сменилась многочисленными анализами, узкой специализацией врачей и проблемами эвтаназии. Учитывая собственный, более чем 50-летний опыт работы врачом-патологом, автор делает попытку создания общей теории патологии, характеризует основные законы патологии, анализирует понятия нормы (здоровья), патологии (болезни) и их взаимосвязь. Последнюю рассматривает как естественный приспособительный процесс. Приводит детальную характеристику составных частей патологии, алгоритм познания патологических явлений, подчёркивает роль личности врача в познании болезни. Характеризует некоторые общие нерешённые проблемы и перспективы развития патологии. Статья может быть полезной для врачей всех специальностей.

Authors: Filonenko K. S. , Kriachok I. A. , Martynchyk A. V.
Published: April 2023

Дифузна В-великоклітинна лімфома (ДВВКЛ) належить до потенційно виліковних захворювань. Проте група хворих на ДВВКЛ є дуже різнорідною і для визначення прогнозу перебігу захворювання існує кілька шкал. Згідно з шкалою Міжнародного прогностичного індексу, 5-річна загальна виживаність хворих групи високого ризику становить 26 % порівняно з 73 % серед хворих групи низького ризику. Стандарту терапії хворих на ДВВКЛ групи високого ризику наразі не існує. У статті наведено огляд літератури, присвячений вивченню ефективності різних курсів хіміотерапії у хворих на ДВВКЛ групи високого ризику та власні дані щодо лікування хворих на ДВВКЛ групи високого ризику.

Published: April 2023

The article studied the incidence of emergence delirium (ED) in children depending on the method of general anesthesia (GA) and identified predictors of ED. There was established, that after GA using sevoflurane ED occurred significantly more often than after GA using propofol or thiopental sodium (P = 0,014 and P = 0,001 respectively). The authors at first made mathematical models with consideration of ED independent predictors for surgery (heart rate, blood glucose level, average of the cardiac cycle, Baevsky’ stress index), which allow to choose optimal method of GA (with using propofol or sevoflurane) to conduct adenotomy and prevention of ED.

У статті описано випадок клінічного спостереження, що свідчить  про можливість розвитку широкого спектра мультисистемних позапечінкових проявів при хронічній HCV-інфекції у вигляді кріоглобулінемічного васкуліту (з ураженням шкіри, м’язів, суглобів, периферичних нервів, органів травлення), гематологічних  синдромів (анемія у поєднанні з патологічною проліферацією В-лімфоцитів, дисмієлопоезом) при низькій активності запального процесу в печінці. Коморбідна патологія у хворої (Са   colli uteri, Тin situ та сечокам’яна хвороба з вторинно-хронічним пієлонефритом, маніфестація яких збіглася у часі з діагностикою анемії) тривалий час маскувала основне захворювання, що і зумовило складність своєчасної етіологічної верифікації.
Поликистоз почек в стадии функциональной компенсации
Authors: Likhoded А. N. , Shukhtin V. V. , Shukhtina I. N. , Gozhenko А. I.
Published: April 2023

Описан клинический случай впервые выявленного поликистоза почек аутосомно-доминантного типа. Кистозные изменения по количеству поражённых нефронов изначально незначительны и не влияют на функцию органа. Формирующаяся хроническая почечная недостаточность (ХПН) развивается вследствие вторичного повреждения нефронов вследствие их компрессии кистами. Можно предположить, что удаление кист замедляет прогрессирование ХПН. Определение функционального состояния почек, а также их функционального резерва позволит совершенствовать тактику лечения больных по поводу поликистоза почек.

Стратифікація ризику та розробка алгоритмів диференційованого лікування після перенесеного інфаркту міокарда із зубцем Q
Authors: Korol S. V.
Published: April 2023

STIMuL (з елевацією ST Інфаркти Міокарда в україні та їх летальність) є першим реєстровим дослідженням в Україні з тривалим спостереженням за 1103 хворими з гострим коронарним синдромом з елевацією сегмента ST. Виписано з діагнозом інфарк- ту міокарда із зубцем Q 872 особи, за якими продовжили подальше спостереження. Для них було розроблено алгоритми диференційованого лікування залежно від ступеня ри- зику настання дворічної смертності. Пацієнтам будь-якого ризику в пізньому постін- фарктному періоді слід тривало приймати подвійну антитромбоцитарну та ліпідко- ригуючу терапію, β-адреноблокатори та інгібітори ангіотензинперетворючого ферменту. Особам з помірним ризиком необхідно проводити коронароангіографію і за наявності показань – реваскуляризацію міокарда в плановому порядку. Хворі високого ризику для покращання прогнозу потребують проведення стентування чи аортокоро- нарного  шунтування.
