Abstract
Over 1 million adults will have a new or recurrent myocardial infarction this year. Traditional risk factor assessment predicts less than one-half of all future cardiovascular events, and many patients develop atherosclerosis in the absence of these factors. Alternative risk factors, including genotype and the inflammatory response, are presented, along with intervention considerations for the medical-surgical nurse.Entities:
