Supports emphasis on modifiable risks like smoking for AMI prevention; leaves open causal confirmation and intervention efficacy in trials.
Potentially modifiable lifestyle behaviors are major determinants of coronary heart disease globally, highlighting the critical need for national policies and international collaboration in cardiovascular disease prevention.
Hayman et al. (2005) conducted a review in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=29,972). Modifiable risk factors (e.g., smoking, abnormal lipids, hypertension, diabetes) was evaluated on Population attributable risk (PAR) for AMI. Nine potentially modifiable risk factors, most notably smoking and abnormal lipids, account for over 90% of the population attributable risk for acute myocardial infarction worldwide.
