In a primary prevention study of coronary artery disease (CAD), 164 men with risk factors at the start of the study (1975-79) were examined from 1996 to 2002 with body surface mapping (BSM). Seventy-one men (43.3%) had a benign prognosis (normal BSM + syndrome X), while 93 men (56.7%) had a severe prognosis (CAD moderate and advanced BSM). In multivariate analysis, the odds of smokers developing a CAD BSM pattern were 2.6 times higher compared with nonsmokers (p = 0.007). BSM results were partly related to SBP (p = 0.074) and men with a SBP > 140 mm Hg were 1.9 times more likely to develop a CAD BSM pattern than men having a normal SBP. No statistical significance was found for total cholesterol.
