A heart attack caused by the narrowing and blockages in coronary arteries. The researchers further explain the relationship of genes protective of heart attack at the owner's blood type O is.
"Certain genes influence the establishment of plaque in heart arteries, while other genes trigger a heart attack when you have awakened heart artery plaque,"
One of cardiac protective genes allow a person has blood type O.
"Not all the genes for heart disease are the same and therefore should be used differently in the treatment of heart disease and when assessing the risk of heart disease,"
The study report has been published in the online edition of The Lancet.
How is research conducted
For this study, the research team compared the approximately 13,000 people who suffer from coronary artery disease of approximately 7400 people who tidakmemiliki similar conditions.
And, to hone specific genes that may play a role in heart attacks, they compare the approximately 5800 people who suffer from coronary artery disease and heart attacks against more than 3,600 people who suffer from coronary artery disease but never had a heart attack.
By using this method, the research team identified a new gene called ADAMTS7, which is associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease.
In a specific analysis for heart attacks, they also found an association between blood groups and risk of heart attack. In particular, the gene that makes seseorangmemiliki blood type O can protect them from heart attacks.
"ADAMTS7 modifying therapy and blood type may be useful for heart disease, but may work in different ways and at different people,"
"This concept speaks to the progress of individual treatment and care of heart disease in the future. In addition, blood type may be a simple indicator of the risk of heart attack or protection,"
