We have recently shown that fibrin D-dimer, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) antigen, von Willebrand factor antigen, fibrinogen, plasma viscosity, and white cell count are associated with subsequent ischemic heart disease (IHD) in men aged 49 to 65 years in the Caerphilly Study from South Wales. We now report the contribution of major lifestyle factors to plasma levels of these new risk predi...
