Addition of South Asian race risk factor for myocardial infarction

Please change

"Race: In the U.S. African Americans have a greater burden of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. On a population level, there is a higher overall prevalence of risk factors that are unrecognized and therefore not treated, which places these individuals at a greater likelihood of experiencing adverse outcomes and therefore potentially higher morbidity and mortality.[156]"

"Race: In the U.S. African Americans have a greater burden of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular events. On a population level, there is a higher overall prevalence of risk factors that are unrecognized and therefore not treated, which places these individuals at a greater likelihood of experiencing adverse outcomes and therefore potentially higher morbidity and mortality. [156] Similarly, South Asians (including South Asians that have migrated to other countries around the world) experience higher rates of acute myocardial infarctions at younger ages, which can be largely explained by a higher prevalence of risk factors at younger ages. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/205159 " Pribhatt (talk) 01:58, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

New CCS classification of acute myocardial infarction

The Canadian Cardiovascular Society released a new classification of acute myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction evolves in four stages. I believe it would be helpful if this article would be updated. The reference is here:

Bad grammar in the intro

2nd paragraph:

"MIs is produced less caused by" should be "MIs are less often caused by"

Can someone fix that?

Need to examine for gender differences

This article seems to relate to symptoms evidenced by males. It COMPLETELY IGNORES the symptoms evidenced by FEMALES!!! 2A00:23C6:E30A:7401:35A5:BEB4:629C:2E88 (talk) 09:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
