- - Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that causes high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from a young age, increasing the risk for early cardiovascular diseases due to mutations in key cholesterol-related genes.
- - A 44-year-old Vietnamese woman experienced chest pain and was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), leading to the identification of FH through clinical signs, elevated LDL-C levels, and a Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) score of 10.
- - The patient underwent a successful reverse T-stenting procedure for her coronary arteries and had a genetic test confirming a mutation in the LDL-R gene, reinforcing the diagnosis of FH; she has since
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often suffers from a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, few studies in developing countries have focused on the effect of MetS on in-hospital outcomes in patients with AMI. We analyzed 199 patients with AMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
