Scientific reports·2022

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Genetics
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) has complex causes, including genetic predisposition.
  • Traditional risk factors are effective but have limitations in sensitivity and population-wide application.
  • Current preventive strategies for ischemic heart disease (IHD) are suboptimal for low/moderate risk groups and inefficient for medium-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential for improved preventive strategies for IHD.
  • To identify new risk factors, genetic susceptibilities, and protective genotypes.
  • To enable personalized preventive strategies based on individual susceptibility.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on MI etiology, risk factors, and genetic influences.
  • Analysis of traditional risk factor control effectiveness.
  • Exploration of emerging research on genetic markers, novel risk factors, and gene-environment interactions.

Main Results:

  • While traditional risk factors have yielded remarkable achievements, they have limited sensitivity in certain populations.
  • New risk factors, specific genotypes, and their interactions with environmental factors are crucial for understanding individual susceptibility.
  • Early findings suggest potential for cost-effective, individualized MI prevention.

Conclusions:

  • Personalized preventive strategies for MI, based on individual genetic susceptibility and novel risk factors, are a promising future direction.
  • Further rigorous population-based studies are needed to validate emerging genetic markers and risk factors.
  • Integrating genetic and environmental insights may revolutionize IHD prevention, moving towards tailored interventions.
