While the incidence rate of acute myocardial infarction appears not to be increased in Japan, that in the aged oldest age group tended to increase. Plaque rupture superimposed with thrombosis is the most common proximate cause of acute coronary syndrome. Recognition of not only conventional risk factors but also triggering factors is important for prevention of acute coronary syndromes.
