"Patients in primary care with a new diagnosis of angina who are male, older, current smokers, or obese have worse short-term outcomes, a large Scottish study suggests [1].Kudos, fatsos.
Within five years of being diagnosed with angina, men were twice as likely as women to have an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and almost three times as likely to die from cardiac causes. Smoking and obesity were each linked with a doubled risk of death, and each year of increasing age was associated with a greater risk of MI or death."
