The papers presented in this book were held at the International Sympo­ sium on Myocardial Infarction at Young Age on January 30 and 31, 1981, in Bad Krozingen, FRG. The symposium was sponsored and supported by the European Society of Cardiology and the Pharma Schwarz Co. The scientific committee was composed of H. Denolin (Bruxelles), F. Loogen (Dusseldorf), E. Nussel (Heidelberg), J. Widimsky (Prague), M. Schmuziger (Bad Krozingen), and the editor of this book. To all of these, as well as to my co-workers, many thanks. Bad Krozingen, October 1981 H.
