Addition of South Asian race risk factor for myocardial infarction

[edit]

Please change

"Race: In the U.S. African Americans have a greater burden of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. On a population level, there is a higher overall prevalence of risk factors that are unrecognized and therefore not treated, which places these individuals at a greater likelihood of experiencing adverse outcomes and therefore potentially higher morbidity and mortality.[156]"

"Race: In the U.S. African Americans have a greater burden of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. On a population level, there is a higher overall prevalence of risk factors that are unrecognized and therefore not treated, which places these individuals at a greater likelihood of experiencing adverse outcomes and therefore potentially higher morbidity and mortality. [156] Similarly, South Asians (including South Asians that have migrated to other countries around the world) experience higher rates of acute myocardial infarctions at younger ages, which can be largely explained by a higher prevalence of risk factors at younger ages. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/205159 " Pribhatt (talk) 01:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New CCS classification of acute myocardial infarction

[edit]

The Canadian Cardiovascular Society released a new classification of acute myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction evolves in four stages. I believe it would be helpful if this article would be updated. The reference is here:

Bad grammar in the intro

[edit]

2nd paragraph:

"MIs is produced less caused by" should be "MIs are less often caused by"

Can someone fix that?

Thanks for spotting that. I've had a go at it. Jclemens (talk) 06:56, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Need to examine for gender differences

[edit]

This article seems to relate to symptoms evidenced by males. It COMPLETELY IGNORES the symptoms evidenced by FEMALES!!! 2A00:23C6:E30A:7401:35A5:BEB4:629C:2E88 (talk) 09:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
