Homocysteine and hemostatic disorder as a risk factor for myocardial infarction at a young age.
INTRODUCTION Hyperhomocysteinemia is a coronary risk factor, but its pathophysiologic mechanism remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS The importance of hyperhomocysteinemia in the pathogenesis of early myocardial infarction, was determined in case-control study of 127 men with a first early myocardial infarction <or=45 years and 150 age-matched male controls. We measured plasma concentration...
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 کاملEvaluation of the role of opium addiction in acute myocardial infarction as a risk factor
Background: More than half of myocardial infracted (MI) patients have no conventional risk factors. Regarding the belief that opium addiction has a protective effect on heart diseases, addiction prevalence has unfortunately increased in recent years. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of opium addiction on patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: This case-control stu...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction at a young age.
We quantified lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] immunochemically in young (less than 46 y) male survivors of myocardial infarction and in age-matched controls recruited from participants of the Prospective Cardiovascular Münster (PROCAM) study. We further determined apolipoprotein E polymorphism and measured triglycerides, total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL and LDL), and...
متن کاملEvaluation of Homocysteine Level as a Risk Factor among Patients with Ischemic Stroke and Its Subtypes
Background: Epidemiological research has shown that increased total homocysteine (tHcy) levels are associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic disease; however, controversy still exists over which subtype of stroke is allied to hyperhomocysteinemia. This study aimed to investigate whether elevated tHcy is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke and to compare tHcy levels in patie...
