Bleeding time and diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Prospective study of herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, and the risk of future myocardial infarction and stroke.

BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that infection with either herpes simplex virus (HSV) or cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with atherogenesis. However, prospective data relating evidence of prior exposure to these agents with risks of future myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are sparse. METHODS AND RESULTS In a prospective, nested case-control study of apparently healthy men, the ba...

Psychological distress, physical illness and risk of myocardial infarction in the Caerphilly study.

BACKGROUND Studies have found associations between psychological distress (PD) and increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). However, it is not clear whether the relationship reflects the subtle influence of pre-existing illness on both PD and MI. This study examines the association between PD and MI in a prospective epidemiological study of 1864 middle-aged men to examine if the associatio...
