Abstract

"Updated Analyses Of The Prospective Cardiovascular Munster (Procam) Study - Which Follows More Than 30,000 Men And Women For Coronary Heart Disease (Chd) Risk Factors - And The Helsinki Heart Study - A 5-Year Primary Prevention Trial - Have Identified A Group Of Patients At Very High Risk Of Myocardial Infarction. These Are Patients With A Triad Of Lipid Abnormalities Which Is Characterized By High Triglycerides Plus A High Ldl/Hdl-Cholesterol Ratio. One In Four Patients With This Profile Will Suffer A Myocardial Infarction In 6 Years. Yet, These Are Also The Patients Most Likely To Benefit From Risk Reduction. Pro Cam Data Show That These High-Risk Patients Often Have Ather Chd Risk Factors In Addition To High Triglycerides And Low Hdl. As Is Well Known, Chd Risk Increases Sharply With The Number And Severity Of Risk Factors. Thus, Therapeutic Decisions Should Be Based On Assessment Of The Patient'S Entire Risk-Factor Profile. These Key Procam And Helsinki Slides May Be Used As A Complete Set, Or You May Select Certain Slides To Intersperse In Your Awn Collection. As You Know, The European Atherosclerosis Society Has Recently Updated And Simplified Its Risk Assessment And Treatment Guidelines. This Slide Set May Be Supplemented With Those New Moterials."
