Abstract
Background and aims: The familial risk among patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is unknown. Previous studies of family history in myocardial infarction (MI), have not made a distinction between MINOCA and MI due to coronary artery disease (MI-CAD), based on angiographic findings. We therefore sought to investigate familial risk of MI without and with obstructive coronary arteries.
Methods: Register-based cohort study with a total of 15,462 MINOCA cases, 204,424 MI-CAD cases, 38,220 control subjects without MI and with non-obstructive coronary arteries. First-degree relatives were identified 1995-2020. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to compare familial risk in MINOCA and MI-CAD with control subjects.
Results: During a mean follow-up of 8.1 ± 4.2 years, MINOCA occurred in 1.0% of first-degree relatives with MINOCA whereas MI-CAD occurred in 9.7% of first-degree relatives of MINOCA. The age- and sex-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for a MINOCA-relative experiencing MINOCA and MI-CAD, compared to control subjects, was 0.99 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-1.23) and 1.10 (95% CI 1.03-1.18), respectively. During a mean follow-up of 8.5 ±4.8 years, MI-CAD occurred in 12.2% of first- degree relatives with MI-CAD with age- and sex-adjusted HR 1.43 (95% CI 1.37-1.49).
Conclusions: No increased familial risk of MINOCA was observed for MINOCA-patients whereas there was an increased familial risk for MI-CAD when compared to control subjects. These results may indicate that genetic factors and shared environmental factors within a family leading to CAD are important also for MINOCA, thus MI-CAD and MINOCA could share underlying mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
European Journal of Preventive Cardiology (EJPC) is an official journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC). The journal covers a wide range of scientific, clinical, and public health disciplines related to cardiovascular disease prevention, risk factor management, cardiovascular rehabilitation, population science and public health, and exercise physiology. The categories covered by the journal include classical risk factors and treatment, lifestyle risk factors, non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, cardiovascular conditions, concomitant pathological conditions, sport cardiology, diagnostic tests, care settings, epidemiology, pharmacology and pharmacotherapy, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
