Abstract MP071: Genetic Modification of Triggers of Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results From a Case-crossover Study in Costa Rica
Circulation(2017)
摘要
Background: Coffee intake and heavy physical exertion are triggers of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is hypothesized that their triggering effects can be modified by genetic variation. Methods: The study population consisted of incident cases (n=1354 for coffee intake, and n=1101 for heavy physical exertion) of nonfatal AMI recruited in Costa Rica between 1994 and 2004. Coffee intake and heavy physical exertion were assessed with validated questionnaires. Blood samples were collected and genotyping was conducted. We used a case-crossover design to estimate the relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of AMI associated with each trigger stratified by the genotypes of each SNP included. Chi-square tests of homogeneity of RR across genotypic strata were used to assess effect modification by genetic factors. We included SNPs from both candidate genes (candidate SNPs) and previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS SNPs) related to the pathophysiological pathways of the triggering effe...
