Modifiable and Non-Modifiable Risk Factors for Premature Coronary Heart Disease (PCHD): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Heart Lung Circ 2024; 33:265-280. [PMID: 38365496 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to compare the prevalence of modifiable and non-modifiable coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors among those with premature CHD and healthy individuals. METHODS PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched (review protocol is registered in PROSPERO CRD42020173216). The quality of studies was assessed using the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute tool for cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3. Effect sizes for categorical and continuous variables, odds ratio (OR) and mean differences (MD)/standardised mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS A total of n=208 primary studies were included in this review. Individuals presenting with premature CHD (PCHD, age ≤65 years) had higher mean body mass index (MD 0.54 kg/m2, 95% CI 0.24, 0.83), total cholesterol (SMD 0.27, 95% CI 0.17, 0.38), triglycerides (SMD 0.50, 95% CI 0.41, 0.60) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (SMD 0.79, 95% CI: -0.91, -0.68) compared with healthy individuals. Individuals presenting with PCHD were more likely to be smokers (OR 2.88, 95% CI 2.51, 3.31), consumed excessive alcohol (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.05, 1.86), had higher mean lipoprotein (a) levels (SMD 0.41, 95% CI 0.28, 0.54), and had a positive family history of CHD (OR 3.65, 95% CI 2.87, 4.66) compared with healthy individuals. Also, they were more likely to be obese (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.32, 1.91), and to have had dyslipidaemia (OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.18, 3.45), hypertension (OR 2.80, 95% CI 2.28, 3.45), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.50, 3.45) compared with healthy individuals. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms current knowledge of risk factors for PCHD, and identifying these early may reduce CHD in young adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies had identified genetic variants associated with Myocardial Infarction, but results are inconclusive. We examined the association between FII G20210A (rs1799963), FV G1691A (rs6025), FXIII 97G > T (rs11466016), ATR1 A1166C (rs5186) and MTHFR A1298C (rs1801131) polymorphisms and ST elevation Myocardial Infarction in young Mexican individuals. METHODS We included a total of 350 patients with Myocardial Infarction <45 years old and 350 controls matched by age and gender. The polymorphisms were analyzed by PCR-RFLP using specific restriction enzymes. DNA fragments were separated by electrophoresis in 2% gel of agarose and visualized using SYBR green. RESULTS The A1166C (p = 0.004) but not FXIII 97G > T (p = 0.19), G20210A (p = 0.32), G1691A (p = No significant) and A1298C (p = 0.21) polymorphisms were associated with increased risk for ST elevation Myocardial Infarction. Moreover, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking and family history of atherothrombotic disease were associated. CONCLUSIONS We found that A1166C represented increased risk for ST elevation Myocardial Infarction. However, G20210A, G1691A, 97G > T, and A1298C were not associated. In addition, we had determined that Glu298Asp, PLA1/A2, TAFI Thr325Ile, ACE I/D, AGT M235T and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms represented increased risk in the same group of patients. However, MTHFR C677T, AGT T174M, FV G1691A, TSP-1 N700S, MTHFR C677T and TAFI 174 M polymorphisms were no associated. Our results suggest that in young patients with ST Myocardial Infarction, those polymorphisms could contribute to premature endothelial dysfunction, atherothrombosis, vasoconstriction, increased platelet aggregation, muscle cell migration and proliferation. Further studies are required to try to better assess gene-gene and gene-modifiable factors interaction.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), a prevalent cardiovascular disease, is fundamentally precipitated by thrombus formation in the coronary arteries, which subsequently decreases myocardial perfusion and leads to cellular necrosis. The intricacy of MI pathogenesis necessitates extensive research to elucidate the disease's root cause, thereby addressing the limitations present in its diagnosis and prognosis. With the continuous advancement of genomics technology, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and transcriptomics are widely used in the study of MI, which provides an excellent way to identify new biomarkers that elucidate the complex mechanisms of MI. This paper provides a detailed review of various genomics studies of MI, including genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and multi-omics studies. The metabolites and proteins involved in the pathogenesis of MI are investigated through integrated protein-protein interactions and multi-omics analysis by STRING and Metascape platforms. In conclusion, the future of omics research in myocardial infarction offers significant promise.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a prevalent cardiovascular disease characterized by myocardial necrosis resulting from coronary artery ischemia and hypoxia, which can lead to severe complications such as arrhythmia, cardiac rupture, heart failure, and sudden death. Despite being a research hotspot, the etiological mechanism of MI remains unclear. The emergence and widespread use of omics technologies, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics, have provided new opportunities for exploring the molecular mechanism of MI and identifying a large number of disease biomarkers. However, a single-omics approach has limitations in understanding the complex biological pathways of diseases. The multi-omics approach can reveal the interaction network among molecules at various levels and overcome the limitations of the single-omics approaches. This review focuses on the omics studies of MI, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and other omics. The exploration extended into the domain of multi-omics integrative analysis, accompanied by a compilation of diverse online resources, databases, and tools conducive to these investigations. Additionally, we discussed the role and prospects of multi-omics approaches in personalized medicine, highlighting the potential for improving diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of MI.

Abstract
Factor V (FV) Leiden and prothrombin G20210A are the most common hereditary thrombophilias. While their role in venous thromboembolism is well known, there are still uncertainties regarding their relationship with arterial thrombotic events, especially coronary ones. Our research, based on an in-depth analysis of the available literature, provides up-to-date information on the relationship between FV Leiden and prothrombin G20210A and acute myocardial infarction. FV Leiden and prothrombin G20210A screening should be implemented only in select cases, such as acute coronary syndrome in young individuals and/or in the absence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and/or in the absence of significant coronary artery stenosis at angiography. Their identification should be followed by the implementation of optimal control of modifiable traditional cardiovascular risk factors to reduce the risk of recurrent events and genotyping and genetic counseling of all family members of affected cases for proper prophylaxis. An extended dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) may be considered, given the lower risk of bleeding under DAPT conferred by FV Leiden.

Abstract
Arterial thrombotic events, particularly ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, are common, and mostly occur due to atherosclerotic disease or arrhythmias. The diagnosis and management of the majority of such events occurs without the involvement of a hematologist, following established guidelines or pathways. In this review, we discuss 3 scenarios in which optimal management is less certain. These scenarios concern patients with a left ventricular thrombus, in whom the duration and choice of anticoagulant has been debated, patients with ischemic stroke and a patent foramen ovale, in whom the role of patent foramen ovale closure requires careful consideration, and the role of thrombophilia testing in young patients after a stroke or myocardial infarction, which remains an area of contention. We consider the available evidence and published guidelines in order to provide a practical, evidence-based approach to these 3 clinical scenarios.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) among young adults (<45 years) represents a considerable proportion of the total heart attack incidents. The underlying pathophysiologic characteristics, atherosclerotic plaque features, and risk factors profile differ between young and older patients with MI. This review article discusses the main differences between the younger and elderly MI patients as well as the different pathogenic mechanisms underlying the development of MI in the younger. Young patients with MI often have eccentric atherosclerotic plaques with inflammatory features but fewer lesions, and are more likely to be smokers, obese, and have poor lifestyle, such as inactivity and alcohol intake. Compared to older MI patients, younger are more likely to be men, have familial-combined hyperlipidaemia and increased levels of lipoprotein-a. In addition, MI in younger patients may be related to use of cannabis, cocaine use, and androgenic anabolic steroids. Genomic differences especially in the pathways of coagulation and lipid metabolism have also been identified between young and older patients with MI. Better understanding of the risk factors and the anatomic and pathophysiologic processes in young adults can improve MI prevention and treatment strategies in this patient group. Awareness could help identify young subjects at increased risk and guide primary prevention strategies. Additional studies focusing on gene pathways related to lipid metabolism, inflammation, and coagulation are needed.

Abstract
Among patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the proportion of young individuals has increased in recent years. Although coronary atherosclerosis is less extensive in young patients with AMI, with higher prevalence of single-vessel disease and rare left main involvement, the long-term prognosis is not benign. Young patients with AMI with obstructive coronary artery disease have similar risk factors as older patients except for higher prevalence of smoking, lipid disorders, and family history of premature coronary artery disease, and lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Smoking cessation is by far the most effective secondary preventive measure. Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries is a relatively common clinical entity (10%-20%) among young patients with AMI, with intravascular and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging being key for diagnosis and potentially treatment. Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a frequent pathogenetic mechanism of AMI among young women, requiring a high degree of suspicion, especially in the peripartum period.

Abstract
Protein C (PC) and protein S (PS) are natural anticoagulants that protect the body against thrombosis, and their deficiency, either inherited or acquired, renders the body to a hypercoagulable state. This leads to venous thromboembolism manifesting as thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and superficial thrombophlebitis among other causes. The involvement of arteries is rare and has been explained by only a few studies. Hence, the presentation of PC and PS deficiencies with stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) is rarely observed, especially in young patients. We report a case of a 33-year old male with a past medical history of stroke and MI for which no underlying cause was found. He presented now with shortness of breath and left-sided chest pain and after a series of workup, eventually diagnosed as a rare case of PC and PS deficiencies.

Abstract
Objective The ST- elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a serious health care problem, is commonly a thrombotic complication of coronary artery disease. We compare the STEMI patients and control group in terms of the possible causes of inherited thrombophilia including FactorV Cambridge G1091C, FactorV Leiden G1691A, MTHFRC677T, MTHFR A1298C, FactorII G20210A, Factor XIII (V34L), PAI-1, FGB, ITGB3, APOB, FVHR2, ACE gene variants. Methods Fifty-three patients with STEMI and 47 individuals without diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome were included in the study. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed for patients with STEMI. Echocardiography was performed and inherited thrombophilia genes were evaluated in all subjects. Results The MTHFR A1298C, Factor XIII (V34L), ITGB, ACE and homozygous or compound heterozygous gene varations of inherited thrombophilia are significantly related with STEMI (p<0.05). Also significantly higher MTHFR A1298C, FactorV Leiden G1691A, PAI and ACE gene variations in MI patients who were smokers; Factor XIII (V34L), PAI and ACE gene variations in MI patients with HT; PAI and ACE gene variation in MI patients with FH and PAI gene variations in MI patients with HL were detected when compared with the control groups with all of the same risk factors (p<0.05). Conclusion Hereditary thrombophilia factors may show promise in the prevention and management of STEMI when supported studies with larger case series.

Abstract
PURPOSE to study distribution of genes of the coagulation system, unfavorable in relation to the risk of thrombosis, and their influence on serum parameters ofthe hemostasis system in patients with nonobstructive coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We included in this nonrandomized open study patients with ACS older than 18 years with intact coronary arteries or confirmed at coronary angiography stenosis <50%. Genotypes of these patients were analyzed by 8 polymorphic variants of the hemostatic system genes which previously were found to be associated with the thrombophilia risk: F2 (20210 G>A) rs1799963, F5 (1691 G>A) rs6025, F7 (10976G>A) rs6046, F13 (163 G>T) rs5985, F1 (-455G>A) rs1800790, GP Ia - Ila (807C>t) rs1126643, GP Ilb-IIIa (1565 T>C) rs5918, PAI-I (-6755G>4G) rs1799889. Activities of protein C, Von Willebrand factor, plasminogen, and antithrombin III were also determined. RESULTS Of 913 patients with ACS in 30 (3.3%) with mean age 54±11 years we detected NCA. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was diagnosed in 24 (80%), unstable angina - in 6 (20%) patients. Only in 1 patient we found no carriage of thrombosis associated genotypes. The frequency of occurrence of the heterozygous genotype of the factor V gene was 1 (3%). Heterozygous genotype of the factor XIII was registered significantly more often in patients with present atherosclerotic lesion compared with those with intact coronary arteries. Mean activity of protein C was 103% [90; 110], antithrombin III - 96% [88; 103], Von Willebrand factor - 137% [114; 162], plasminogen - 109% [102; 112]. At admission lowering of antithrombin III and protein C activities was detected in 4 cases (13%). In dynamics level of these parameters was restored. Elevation of Von Willebrand factor activity at admission was detected in 14 cases (14%) and remained elevated one year after the index event. There was no association between of fibrinogen level, protein C activity, rs1800790 and rs6025 gene polymorphisms, respectively. One-year mortality was 7% (n=2). For one year occurred 1 AIM recurrence (3%), heart failure developed in 15 patients (50%), 11 patients (37%) were repetitively hospitalized due to all causes. No association was revealed between activity of studied blood serum markers and 1 -year outcomes (death, re-AIM, rehospitalization). CONCLUSION Among ACS patients 3.3% had NCA, what corresponded to the literature data. Carriage of at least 1 polymorphic variant of 8 thrombosis associated genes of the coagulation system was found in 97 % of patients with ACS and NCA. Distribution of these variants was like that in the European population and in patients with AIM at the background of stenosing atherosclerosis. Level of serum markers did not depend on distribution of polymorphic variants of the coagulation system genes, and presence of atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions. There was no association between hospital and long-term outcomes and distribution of polymorphic variants of thrombosis associated coagulation system genes, as well as levels of blood serum markers.

Abstract
Research objective To research the association of prothrombin (factor II) activity given the prothrombin G20210A mutation carriage with its clinical manifestations as thrombotic complications. Materials and methods A prospective clinical cohort study of 290 women of reproductive age was conducted. Two cohort groups were identified: the study group of 140 patients with prothrombin mutation G20210A genotype and the control group of 150 women with G20210G genotype. Results The prothrombin G20210A mutation carriage is associated with the risk of thrombotic complications compared to the wild G20210G type (RR =17.1; p<0.0001) and is characterized by thrombosis localized both in the venous (66.7%) and arterial (33.3%) vascular pools. The threshold value of prothrombin activity (174.8%) for G20210A genotype was calculated, making it possible to conclusively predict the risk of thrombotic events with the accuracy of 90.4%. Conclusion The phenotypic manifestation of the prothrombin G20210A mutation in the form of venous and arterial thromboses in women of reproductive age is associated with a super-threshold increase in prothrombin (factor II) activity, which makes it possible to stratify the patients into the group of high risk of thromboses.

Abstract
Protein C and protein S are vitamin K dependent anti-coagulant proteins required for the inhibition of activated protein V and VIII. In an inherited thrombophilia, hypercoagulability caused by the deficiency of protein C and protein S predisposes an individual to increased risk of thromboembolism (TE) that could herald as a venous thromboemboilsm (VTE) in the leg, pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, or Budd-Chiari syndrome. However, very rarely does inherited thrombophilia cause coronary artery thrombosis leading to the development of myocardial infarction (MI). We report a case of a young male with combined protein C and protein S deficiency who presented with acute MI, worsened ventricular systolic function, and progressive declination of ejection fraction (EF) secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Prevalence of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemia phenotype in very young survivors of myocardial infarction and their association with the severity of atheromatous burden. J Clin Lipidol 2019; 13:502-508. [PMID: 30956097 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacl.2019.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2018] [Revised: 02/20/2019] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and combined hyperlipidemia (CHL) phenotype are associated with premature myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of HeFH and CHL phenotype among young survivors of MI and compare patients' characteristics with these 2 lipid disorders. METHODS We recruited 382 young survivors of MI (≤40 years). Fasting lipids, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], apolipoprotein A-1, and apolipoprotein B (apoB) levels were determined. Using the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) algorithm, patients having definite or probable HeFH were identified. Patients with apoB levels >120 mg/dL and triglyceride levels >170 mg/dL (1.92 mmol/L) [>90th percentile of 326 age and sex-matched healthy controls] were classified as having CHL phenotype. Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) was measured by B-mode ultrasonography. RESULTS Eighty-one patients (21.2%) had definite/probable HeFH and 62 (16.2%) had CHL phenotype. Twenty-three patients fulfilled the criteria for both HeFH and CHL phenotype and were removed from further comparisons. Patients with HeFH (n = 58) had higher levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, Lp(a), and apoB, whereas patients with CHL phenotype (n = 39) had higher levels of triglycerides and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher in patients with CHL phenotype compared to those with HeFH (67.0% vs 16.4%, P < .001). Patients with HeFH had more extensive coronary artery disease (3-vessel disease: 36.2% vs 12.8%, P = .011) and greater right CCA-IMT (0.67 ± 0.11 mm vs 0.56 ± 0.09 mm, P < .001) and left CCA-IMT (0.68 ± 0.10 mm vs 0.56 ± 0.08 mm, P < .001) compared to CHL phenotype patients. CONCLUSIONS Both HeFH and CHL phenotype are common among patients with premature MI. CHL phenotype compared to HeFH is associated with less atheromatous burden in coronary and carotid arteries at the time of first MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS High levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are associated with increased risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We explored whether Lp(a) exhibits a stronger association with premature ACS. METHODS A case-control study was conducted; 1457 patients with a history of ACS (54.8 ± 13 years, 86% males) and 2090 age-sex matched adults free of cardiovascular disease were enrolled. Bio-clinical characteristics [risk factors, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, Lp(a)] were derived through standard procedures. RESULTS A 10 mg/dL increase in Lp(a) was associated with 4% (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.02) higher likelihood of having ACS in younger (<45 years) and 2% (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.02) higher likelihood in middle-aged (45-60 years) individuals. Adjusting for common risk factors, elevated Lp(a), i.e. >50 mg/dL, was still associated with increased likelihood of ACS in younger adults (<45 years) (OR = 2.88, 95% CI, 1.7 to 4.6) and in middle aged ones (45 and 60 years) (OR = 2.06, 95% CI, 1.4 to 3.2), but not in older participants (>60 years) (OR = 1.31, 95% CI, 0.8 to 2.4). CONCLUSIONS Lp(a) seems to be an independent risk factor for ACS in individuals <45 years, and high Lp(a) levels increase by ∼3folds the risk for ACS. The association is preserved but is less in middle-aged individuals (45-60 years) and is abolished >60 years.
