Accounting for CHD risk: How much do major risk factors explain? by Emberson, JR, Whincup, P

“…Although studies have shown that cigarette smoking and elevated serum cholesterol and blood pressure levels are the greatest risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), it has been suggested that they account for only 50% of cases. …”
