Abstract
The incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction among 4,733 vasectomized men followed for 33,969 man-years was 1.3 cases per 1,000 man-years. This incidence was nearly identical in a 5-fold larger series of comparable nonvasectomized men. These data represent a substantially increased long-term followup over that reported previously for these groups and provide continued assurance of the lack of an association between vasectomy and myocardial infarction, particularly 10 or more years after vasectomy.Entities:
