The findings emerged from a well controlled study in which acute coronary blockage was angiographically confirmed in patients hospitalised for suspected heart attack.

In the light of the findings, from EUROASPIRE IV, largest survey of coronary care in Europe, the investigators are now calling for "a new approach to cardiovascular prevention . . . which integrates cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention into modern preventive cardiology programmes with appropriate adaptation to medical and cultural settings in each country".
