Effective management of modifiable risk factors through lifestyle improvements plays a pivotal role in the prevention of myocardial infarction.
yocardial infarction (MI) is the most severe manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD), contributing to global mortality and morbidity.Despite advances in treatment, including early reperfusion, pharmacological therapy, and standardized care, acute MI remains a significant global health burden.There are several challenges in aggressively implementing a multifactorial approach for risk reduction in the primary prevention of MI.Traditional modifiable risk factors for MI include obesity, inactivity, smoking, high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus.Effective management of these risk factors, particularly through lifestyle improvements, plays a pivotal role in the prevention of MI.
