Tissue factor and coagulation factor VII levels during acute myocardial infarction: association with genotype and adverse events.
OBJECTIVE We investigated in patients with ongoing myocardial infarction (MI) whether coagulation factor VII (FVII) and tissue factor (TF) levels are affected at admission by genetic components and whether they may predict subsequent cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS 256 patients admitted for MI were evaluated for FVII and TF antigen levels before any treatment at entry, and were gen...
متن کاملTissue factor-dependent autoactivation of human blood coagulation factor VII.
We recently showed that single-chain zymogen factor VII is converted to two-chain factor VIIa in an autocatalytic manner following complex formation with either cell-surface or solution-phase relipidated tissue factor apoprotein (Nakagaki, T., Foster, D. C., Berkner, K. L., and Kisiel, W. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 10819-10824). We have now performed a detailed kinetic analysis of the autoactivati...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in the coagulation factor VII gene and the risk of myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND High blood levels of coagulation factor VII are associated with a risk of ischemic vascular disease. Although factor VII levels may be genetically determined, the relation between genetic polymorphisms of factor VII, factor VII blood levels, and the risk of myocardial infarction has not been established. METHODS We performed a case-control study of 165 patients with familial myocar...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of opium addiction in acute myocardial infarction as a risk factor
Background: More than half of myocardial infracted (MI) patients have no conventional risk factors. Regarding the belief that opium addiction has a protective effect on heart diseases, addiction prevalence has unfortunately increased in recent years. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of opium addiction on patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: This case-control stu...
متن کاملAcute hyperglycaemia: a 'new' risk factor during myocardial infarction.
High admission blood glucose levels after acute myocardial infarction are common and are associated with an increased risk of death in subjects with and without diabetes. In this review, the possible toxic action of acute hyperglycaemia is discussed in order to explain the worse prognosis in subjects with myocardial infarction and concomitant hyperglycaemia. The possible usefulness of intensive...
