Objective -To assess the association between cardiovascular risk factors and acute myocardial infarction as the first manifestation of ischemic heart disease, correlating them with coronary angiographic findings.
Methods - (RR=0.19; P=0.04) and left ventricular hypertrophy (RR=0.27; 95% CI=0, P=0.03). The remaining risk factors were not statistically significant.
Conclusion -Prevalence of acute myocardial infarction as the first manifestation of ischemic
