Background—A genetic variation
located in the 3'-untranslated region of the prothrombin gene
(prothrombin 20210 G
Methods and Results—Among 560 men with a first myocardial
infarction before the age of 70 years, 1.8% were heterozygous carriers
of the 20210 variant of the prothrombin gene. The control group
consisted of 646 men who were frequency matched by age. In the latter
group, the frequency of the 20210 AG genotype was 1.2%. The
risk of myocardial infarction in the presence of the AG
genotype was increased by 50% (odds ratio, 1.5; 95%
confidence interval [95% CI], 0.6 to 3.8). The risk of myocardial
infarction for carriership of factor V Leiden mutation was increased by
40% (odds ratio, 1.4; 95% CI, 0.8 to 2.2). When a coagulation defect
was present (ie, the 20210 AG prothrombin genotype or the
factor V Leiden mutation), the risk of myocardial infarction for
carriers versus noncarriers was 1.4 (95% CI, 0.9 to 2.2). This risk
was substantially increased when one of the major
cardiovascular risk factors of smoking, hypertension,
diabetes mellitus, or obesity also was present, with odds ratios
varying between 3 and 6. These risks exceeded those of the single
effects of the cardiovascular risk factors (ie, in the
absence of the coagulation defect).
Conclusions—We conclude that in men the 20210 G

Clinical Investigation and Reports
Interaction of Coagulation Defects and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Increased Risk of Myocardial Infarction Associated With Factor V Leiden or Prothrombin 20210A
A) was recently described as a risk factor for
venous thrombosis. We examined how the presence of this mutation
affected the risk of myocardial infarction in a population-based
case-control study. Furthermore, we studied the risk of myocardial
infarction associated with the simultaneous presence of a
coagulation defect (ie, the 20210 AG genotype of prothrombin or
the factor V Leiden mutation) and major cardiovascular
risk factors. A variant of
prothrombin is associated with an increased risk of myocardial
infarction. The combined presence of major
cardiovascular risk factors and carriership of a
coagulation defect increases the risk considerably.
