Abstract
Our knowledge of the epidemiology of heart disease is not yet complete. To address these shortcomings, it is preferable to examine the entire population, even within a small area, rather than drawing conclusions from patients presenting to clinics or hospitals. One such study was conducted in the Sincanköy district, 20 km from Ankara, and only 95.5% of the 9,831 population were examined in the area. Of these, 9 were referred to the hospital with a diagnosis of probable heart disease. Consequently, the rate of heart disease diagnosed in this population was found to be 1.3%. Among these patients, 48.5% were diagnosed with rheumatic disease, 25.7% with hypertension, 95% with congenital heart disease, and 8.5% with ischemic heart disease. Our results were analyzed and compared with published findings, and the objectives of community surveys were outlined.

Abstract
Kalb hastalıklarının epidemiyolojisi hakkındaki bilgilerimiz he- nüz tam değildir. Eksikliklerin giderilmesi için müayeneyane veya hastaneye gelen hastalardan sonuç çıkarmak yerine ufak hir bölge- de dahi olsa bir toplumun bütününü incelemek tercih edilmektedir. Böyle bir çalışma Ankara'ya 20 km. mesafede Sincanköy buca- gında yanılmış ve mevcut 9831 nufusun o 95,5'i bölgede muayene edilebilmiştir. Runlardan © 9'si muhtcmel kalb hastalığı tanısı olarak hastaneye gönderilmiştir. Neticede bu toplumda tesbit edilen kalb hastalıkları oranı 9 1,3 olarak bulunmuştur. Bu hastalarda © 48,5 romatizmal, 25,7 hipertansif, 95 15,2 konjenital ve 4 8,5 iskemik kalb hastalığı tanıları konmuştur. Bizim sonuçlarımızın tahlili ve neşriyattaki sonuçlarla karşılaştırılması yapılmış ve toplum araş- tırmalarının amaçlarının neler olması gerektiği belirtilmiştir.
