Background: Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are the most frequent causes of death in the Western societies. Even nowadays, every second myocardial infarction is lethal and hits the patients unexpectedly without previous signs or symptoms. In order to install preventive measures most efficiently, it is necessary to have a detailed knowledge on the pathophysiology of the disease. The identification of patients who are at high risk for suffering from myocardial infarction can be done with epidemiological methods, such as the determination of "traditional" risk factors, like arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus or smoking), or eventually in the future using molecular genetic testing. This is of great importance especially for asymptomatic siblings and children from myocardial infarction patients.
