The results of three years' observation of a coronary high risk population identified through a mathematical prognosis of myocardial infarction based on 19 risk factors are reported. Out of 154 subjects (about 4% of the screened population), 40 (26%) developed myocardial infarction within the next three years. None of the risk factors alone could be regarded as having a prevailing effect on the development of myocardial infarction. The mathematical procedure employed can also be used for predicting new anginal episodes, although the method specificity would be lower than the one obtained with the prognosis of myocardial infarction.
