Prothrombotic genetic risk factors in young survivors of myocardial infarction.
It has long been thought that an individual thrombotic tendency increases the risk of myocardial infarction, especially in young adults. Several "prothrombotic" genetic factors that may influence the individual thrombotic risk have been identified. To investigate the association between the risk of myocardial infarction at a young age and genetic factors thought to be associated with an increas...
متن کاملProthrombotic genetic risk factors and myocardial infarction at young age.
We have read with interest the report by Ardissino et al,1 which concludes that the presence of the PlA2 polymorphic allele is the only prothrombotic genetic factor associated with the risk of myocardial infarction at a young age. These authors find a significant interaction between the presence of the PlA2 allele and smoking. We studied 178 men younger than 50 years old who were diagnosed with...
متن کاملGenetic 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 کاملAllopurinol reduces the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in the elderly: a study of Medicare claims
BACKGROUND Previous observational studies that have examined the association of allopurinol with myocardial infarction (MI) have provided contradictory results. One study showed that allopurinol reduced the risk, while another study showed an increased risk with allopurinol. Therefore, our objective was to assess whether allopurinol use is associated with a reduction in the risk of MI in the el...
متن کاملMajor dietary patterns and risk of acute myocardial infarction in young, urban Pakistani population
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of dietary intake in the development of premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a hospital-based Pakistani population in Karachi. METHODS In a case control study, 203 consecutive patients (146 males and 57 females) with their first AMI and age below 45 years were enrolled with informed consent. Similarly, 205 gender and age matched (within 3 years) hea...
