New Definition for Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)

The number of patients who are diagnosed with heart attack will increase by at least 25% under this new definition, according to some estimates. Officially, the incidence of heart attacks will rise. Therefore, in a year or two expect breathless news stories about the alarming new “epidemic” of heart attacks. Any time we get better at making earlier diagnoses of any disease - whether coronary artery disease, infectious disease, or cancer - the reported incidence of that disease will go up. This is something we need to remember whenever experts call for new federal regulations (which seems to be the main job of experts), based on the increasing incidence of some disease or other.

I.e., expect what has happened with autism: better and earlier identification labeled “an epidemic”.
