A study at the California Kaiser Permanente hospital showed a decrease in the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) down 24% and ST-elevation MI down 62% in a CA Study of 46,000 patients. The decade-long study in the New England Journal of Medicine attributes the decrease in MI incidence to improved prevention methods such as aspirin and beta blockers. Check out the study for more details.
