Hypertension and overweight may synergistically raise MI risk; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice or risk models without prospective confirmation.

What factors predispose to myocardial infarction and affect immediate prognosis in an industrial population?
Relative Risk: 3.5
In an industrial population, male sex, hypertension, and overweight were identified as significant predisposing factors for myocardial infarction, though they did not affect immediate prognosis.
Sidney Pell (1958) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction (n=209). Hypertension and overweight vs. Neither hypertension nor overweight was evaluated on Myocardial infarction (3.5 times greater risk). The risk of myocardial infarction in patients with both hypertension and overweight was 3.5 times greater than in patients with neither condition.
