To discuss the risk factors and characteristics of coronary artery disease of Han, Uygur and Kazak patients with acute myocardial infarction in Xinjiang district. A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 262 cases of Han patients, 166 cases of Uygur patients and 86 cases of Kazak patients was conducted, whose age, body mass index, cholesterol, uric acid, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, smoking, drinking, family history of coronary heart disease, relationship between PCI history and pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease characteristics were observed and compared in different groups. Between the Han and minority young patients, there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of BMI, lipoprotein a, positive family history of coronary heart disease, uric acid level, the combined aspects of smoking history (P<0.017); there were also statistically significant differences in BMI, TG, HDL-C, apolipoprotein B, positive family history of coronary heart disease distribution between minority young patients and older patients (P<0.017). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of BMI, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, apolipoprotein AI, positive family history of coronary heart disease between Han and Uygur patients (P<0.017). Han and Kazak patients had statistically significant differences in the distribution of BMI, TC, LDL-C, apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein a, type 2 diabetes and hypertension (P<0.017). Comparison of patients in Uygur and Kazak showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of BMI, TC, LDL-C, apolipoprotein AI, apolipoprotein B and type 2 diabetes between the two groups (P<0.017). The proportion of zero lesions and single-vessel lesions in minority youth patients was higher than that of elderly patients (P<0.001), and the proportion of two and three lesions was less than that of elderly patients (P<0.001). Gensini score of Han patients was greater than that of Uygur patients (P<0.001) and the Kazak patients (P=0.005); The proportion of Han patients with single-vessel disease was less than that of Kazak patients (P=0.003), and the proportion of patients with double-vessel disease was greater than that of Kazak patients (P=0.007). There were ethnic differences in risk factors and the characteristics of coronary artery disease of AMI patients in Xinjiang district; there were differences between minority youth patients and elderly patients, young patients of Han.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases where serum lipoprotein oxidation plays a significant role. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n-6 : n-3 unbalance ratio consumption, affects lipoprotein oxidation, and inflammation processes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between n-6 : n-3 PUFA ratio intake with oxidized lipoproteins in individuals with CAD.

Aims: Biomarkers are pivotal in the management of heart failure (HF); however, their lack of cardiac specificity could limit clinical utility. This study aimed to investigate the transcoronary changes and intracardiac production of these biomarkers.

Methods: Transcoronary gradients for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and five novel biomarkers-galectin-3 (Gal-3), soluble suppression of tumourigenicity 2 (sST2), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-were determined using femoral artery (FA) and coronary sinus (CS) samples from 30 HF patients and 10 non-HF controls.

The intention of this study was to profile the cohort from the Greek Registry for the prevalence of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (GRegistry-FH) by estimating the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), pre-DM, smoking, abnormal thyroid function (ATF), and lipid values. The GRegistry-FH is a prospective study involving door-to-door interviews conducted by trained interviewers. Overall, 7704 individuals aged ≥18 years, randomly selected from all the regions of Greece, participated.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a significant cardiovascular event caused by the decrease in or complete cessation of blood flow to a portion of the myocardium. It can arise from a variety of etiological factors, including pharmacological triggers. This review aims to explore the diverse drugs and substances that might lead to drug-induced myocardial infarction, focusing on their mechanisms of action and the pathophysiological processes involved.
