title: The prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery disease in patients who had had CABG.
abstract: The conclusion of Ranjith and his co-workers from their study 'Demographic data and the outcome of acute coronary syndrome in the South African Asian Indian population' drew our attention. Young South African Indians frequently have premature atherosclerosis with diffuse and aggressive disease. This should be taken into account for risk intervention. We would like to add to this.
