INTERHEART: Clinical implications
• 9 simple and modifiable risk factors are strongly
associated with acute MI worldwide.
• These 9 risk factors account for >90% of the PAR
globally and in most regions.
• Abnormal ApoB-ApoA1 ratio and smoking are the 2
most important risk factors and account for over
two thirds of the PAR.
• Implementing preventive strategies based on our
current knowledge would prevent the majority of
premature CHD worldwide.
PAR = population attributable risk
Apo = apolipoprotein
