Heart Attacks: Possible Risk Factor

Irvine H Page 1
PMCID: PMC426808  PMID: 4340160

Abstract

Evidence is assembled from the literature to support the argument that myocardial infarction and death results from narrowing of coronary arteries—a process that may result from various causes, as discussed in this paper. Angiotensin and hypertension are suggested as among the chief components of such processes.

Keywords: renin, theoretical, angiotensin, thrombus, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction
