Figure 1.

Incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) with the addition of any low‐risk factor. This figure shows the progressive reduction in the incidence of MI with the progressive addition of low‐risk factors in patients without high‐risk factors at baseline (A). This figure shows the progressive reduction in the incidence of MI with the progressive addition of low‐risk factors in patients with one high‐risk factor at baseline (B). The progressive addition of low‐risk factors had similar preventive effects for MI in both the healthy and high‐risk patients. CI indicates confidence interval. Adapted from Akesson and colleagues.13
