ST-elevation myocardial infarction

The NHS in England offers all people aged 40 to 74 years an NHS Health Check once every 5 years, which includes a formal assessment of cardiovascular risk. NHS England has estimated this could prevent 1600 myocardial infarctions per year, saving at least 650 lives.[145]Public Health England.
