Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Large Industrial Population: Report of a 6-Year Study of 1,356 Cases
Abstract
Some clinical and epidemiologic aspects of myocardial infarction were examined in 1,356 employed patients from 25 to 64 years of age. Among salaried employees, the risk of infarction appeared to be inversely related to job level. The chances of developing an attack were increased during the waking hours and among persons with hypertension, diabetes, and certain electrocardiographic abnormalities. Overweight increased the risk of infarction among men under 45 years, but not in older persons. The case fatality rate in the entire series was 30%hyper-rate was significantly elevated among older hypertensives, when the attack occurred at night, and among patients with preexisting bundle-branch block or premature ventricular contractions. The immediate prognosis was not affected by overweight or physical activity at the time of the attack, but was more favorable when the attack occurred at work.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
