This present report represents an effort to find the trends in the incidence of first AMI in patients admitted to Bangkok Adventist Hospital. During a 28-year period (1958-1985), we noted a six-fold increase in the prevalence of the disease, more remarkably in males. Ethnically, there is difference in the onset of the occurrence and rate of incidence among Thai, Chinese and Indian patients. The higher incidence of AMI was found in Indians more than the Thai and Chinese. They also had earlier occurrence. The proved risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, cigarette smoking, and hypercholesterolemia) in AMI are also shown to be prominent in this investigation. The rate of hypertension and diabetes is slightly higher than that previously reported.
本报告旨在探寻曼谷基督复临医院收治的初发急性心肌梗死（AMI）患者的发病趋势。在1958年至1985年的28年期间，我们发现该病的患病率增长了六倍，男性患者增长更为显著。在种族方面，泰国、中国和印度患者在发病时间和发病率上存在差异。印度人急性心肌梗死的发病率高于泰国人和中国人，且发病时间更早。本研究还表明，已证实的急性心肌梗死危险因素（高血压、糖尿病、吸烟和高胆固醇血症）在此次调查中也较为突出。高血压和糖尿病的发病率略高于先前报道的水平。
