[Coronary risk factors in 287 cases of myocardial infarct treated in a coronary unit]. / Fattori di rischio coronarico in 287 casi di infarto miocardico ricoverati in una unità Coronarica

The main coronary risk factors were estimated in a series of 287 myocardial infarct patients admitted to a coronary unit. Particular attention is drawn to smoking, arterial hypertesion, diabetes and hypercholesterolaemia in this respect. 24 cases in patients under 40 yr where cigarette smoking was by far the most important factor are examined more closely.
