Acute risk factors for myocardial infarction

A highly individual approach tailored both to protect against acute risk factors and to reduce patient vulnerability could provide a more complete protection from myocardial infarction and other coronary incidents. Lifestyle modifications, regular physical activity and adequate drug regimens may at least prove able to defer the occurrence of coronary thrombosis, thereby providing time for the development of collateral vessels, plaque stabilization or invasive/surgical treatment.
