Genetic risk score and risk of myocardial infarction in Hispanics.
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified loci associated with coronary heart disease in whites of European ancestry. This study evaluated whether genetic markers previously identified in whites are associated with nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI) in Hispanics. METHODS AND RESULTS Cases (n=1989) with a first nonfatal acute MI and population-based controls (n=2096) li...
متن کاملLifestyle Cardiovascular Risk Score, Genetic Risk Score, and Myocardial Infarction in Hispanic/Latino Adults Living in Costa Rica
BACKGROUND A lifestyle cardiovascular risk score (LCRS) and a genetic risk score (GRS) have been independently associated with myocardial infarction (MI) in Hispanics/Latinos. Interaction or joint association between these scores has not been examined. Thus, our aim was to assess interactive and joint associations between LCRS and GRS, and each individual lifestyle risk factor, on likelihood of...
متن کاملIn-hospital outcome of acute myocardial infarction in correlation with 'thrombolysis in myocardial infarction' risk score.
BACKGROUND Effective risk stratification is integral to management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a simple integer score based on 8 high-risk parameters that can be used at the bedside for risk stratification of patients at presentation with STEMI. OBJECTIVES To evaluate t...
متن کاملEarly myocardial infarction and its risk factors in patients admitted in Rasul-e-Akram Hospital
Introduction: Following urbanization of developing world and increase in prevalence of risk factors for Ischemic Heart Diseases (IHD), the major global burden of IHD is in low and middle income countries. This study was designed to determine trends in early MI (Myocardial Infarction) during ten years and comparison of its risk factors with other patients with MI. Methods: In this cross-s...
متن کاملcomparison of prediction between timi (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) risk score and modified timi risk score in discharged patients from emergency department with atypical chest pain
conclusions: the results obtained from this study support the idea that the timi and modified timi risk scores might be valuable tools that could be used to stratify the risk of patients with atypical chest pain in the emergency department. results: no significant difference could be observed between both groups regarding demographic characteristics, ejection fraction, left ventricle hypertroph...
