Why the study?
Does treatment of coronary disease risk factors reduce future risk of type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction?
Does treatment of coronary disease risk factors reduce future risk of type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction?
Risk factors for type 1 MI also predict type 2 MI during acute illness, suggesting their treatment may reduce the risk of both.
Risk factors for coronary disease that are associated with type 1 myocardial infarction are also important predictors of type 2 events during acute illness. Treatment of these risk factors may reduce future risk of both type 1 and type 2 myocardial infarction.
