The relations of hemodynamic factors, plasma fibrinogen concentration, serum lipoprotein levels, and clinical risk indicators to coronary atherosclerosis were studied in 56 men who had survived a first myocardial infarction before the age of 45 years and who subsequently underwent two coronary angio...
