Myocardial infarction-related alleles

Myocardial infarction-related alleles are specific genetic variations linked to an increased risk of heart attack. These genetic differences can influence factors like blood clot formation, cholesterol levels, or blood vessel health, which contribute to the likelihood of a heart attack occurring. While having these alleles doesn't guarantee a heart attack, they can make an individual more susceptible, especially when combined with other risk factors like poor diet or smoking. Understanding these genetic factors helps researchers identify at-risk populations and develop personalized prevention and treatment strategies.
