Abstract

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and is currently responsible for over 600,000 deaths per year (1). The average risk of developing a myocardial infarction before age 60 for an apparently healthy man is approximately one in five. In addition the acute mortality following an initial myocardial infarction is about 35% with most of these acute fatalities occurring within 3 hours of onset of symptoms. It is thus evident that strategy in coping with this disease must go beyond treatment and must deal with primary prevention.
