Acute myocardial infarction is related to "7 risk factors"? Research reveals: 85% correlation with young patients
Does acute myocardial infarction kill you in just a “moment”? Previous research statistics pointed out that more than 60% of patients with acute myocardial infarction were declared dead before receiving treatment in the hospital. Acute myocardial infarction not only has a very high mortality rate, but also has an unpredictable course. Treatment is also time-sensitive, making it difficult to detect symptoms early through prior assessment. Now, a study published in “JAMA Cardiology” points out that the correlation between 7 risk factors for acute myocardial infarction and acute myocardial infarction is as high as 83%-85%, which may be helpful for early detection and treatment.
American research shows that “7 risk factors” are associated with 85% of acute myocardial infarction
A research team from Yale University in the United States enrolled 2,264 patients with acute myocardial infarction under the age of 55 into the experiment, and matched the age, gender, and race of the corresponding groups through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) questionnaire. In addition, the patient’s lifestyle, family history of cardiovascular disease, medication records, mental state and other factors were all taken into consideration in this experiment.
After adjusting variables, the research team concluded that 7 risk factors were significantly associated with the risk of acute myocardial infarction in young women (83.9%) and young men (85.1%): diabetes, depression, hypertension, smoking, and myocardial infarction. Family history, low household income, and hypercholesterolemia. This association remained significant even after factors such as race, economic status, and growing environment were taken into account.
Among them, diabetes has the strongest correlation with acute myocardial infarction in women, followed by smoking, depression, hypertension, low family income, and family history of myocardial infarction. Smoking behavior in men is most closely related to acute myocardial infarction, followed by myocardial infarction. Family history, hypertension; hypercholesterolemia, depression, diabetes. Lower family income was significantly associated with women but not men; hypercholesterolemia was significantly associated with men but not women.
Is male myocardial infarction related to bad habits? Are women more affected by economic conditions?
Study author Yuan Lu said that if the distribution of subjects is analyzed according to age, it will be found that the proportion of young patients hospitalized for myocardial infarction is increasing, and the risk of death due to acute myocardial infarction is also rising.
“With the westernization of diet and the increase in the obese population, the age of onset of acute myocardial infarction tends to be younger. Therefore, it is very important to prevent the risk of heart disease in young people. The results of this experiment may contribute to the early detection of myocardial infarction treatment.
. "
Lu said that for men, bad habits have the greatest impact on the heart. If there is a related family history, it is more likely to cause serious cardiovascular disease risks. In addition, men’s mental health is often underestimated by the public, and may also be one of the potential causes of acute myocardial infarction.
Lu further mentioned that young women account for about 5% of all heart attacks that occur in the United States each year. About 40,000 young women are hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction every year, and this is the main reason for the increase in mortality in this group. This may be significantly related to the patient’s lack of disease awareness, poor economic status, or low education level. If it can effectively improve patients’ awareness of the disease and improve their lifestyle, it may be able to prevent myocardial infarction in women and bring about completely different results.
