Randomized trial finds lower mortality from coronary heart disease in high-risk men receiving special intervention, suggesting long-term benefits.

This research aimed to assess the long-term effects of a multifactor risk intervention on mortality rates in high-risk men.
Randomized trial comparing special intervention (n=6428) vs usual care (n=6438) over 10.5 years.
Follow-up assessed mortality from coronary heart disease and all causes.
Analysis focused on variations in outcomes based on resting electrocardiographic abnormalities.
Coronary heart disease mortality was reduced by 10.6% in the intervention group compared to usual care.
Overall mortality decreased by 7.7% for the intervention group.
A significant 24% reduction in death rate from acute myocardial infarction was observed in those receiving special intervention.
