Article Synopsis
  • Cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly acute coronary syndrome (ACS), is the leading cause of death globally, with risk factors ranging from non-modifiable, like age and family history, to modifiable ones such as dyslipidemia and hypertension.
  • A study involving 62 STEMI patients and 20 non-ACS CAD patients investigated the correlation between apolipoproteins and ACS, revealing distinct differences in apoA1 levels and the apoB/apoA1 ratio between the two groups.
  • The findings indicate that hypertension and apoA1 are significant risk factors for STEMI, suggesting that monitoring these can help identify individuals at risk for myocardial infarction.

Despite patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and receiving clopidogrel therapy, some patients still experience major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Clopidogrel resistance, which may be regulated by genetic and epigenetic factors, may play a role in MACEs. This study aimed to determine the association between genetic ( and polymorphisms) and epigenetic (DNA methylation of and and miRNA-26a expression) factors and their effects on MACEs among post-PCI patients.

Clopidogrel resistance is an important risk factor of ischemic event recurrence after optimal antiplatelet therapy. This study aims to investigate the role of CYP2C19 gene DNA methylation as one of the epigenetic factors for the risk of clopidogrel resistance in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing PPCI were pretreated with clopidogrel, and their platelet function was measured using VerifyNow™ assay.
