§ Mr. Michael AlisonIn England and Wales deaths from acute myocardial infarction—the relevant category of the International Classification of Diseases which consists almost entirely of cases of coronary thrombosis—totalled 99,710 in 1971 and 105,944 (provisional) in 1972. Due to changes in the classification no strictly comparable figure for 1960 is available but the total is estimated at 73,000.
