Tissue plasminogen activator and risk of myocardial infarction. The Rotterdam Study

Abstract

Impaired fibrinolytic capacity, as assessed by euglobulin clot lysis time or plasma concentration of fibrinolytic parameters, has been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). We studied the association of a polymorphism in the gene for TPA and of plasma concentrations of TPA (antigen and activity) with the prevalence of MI. A case-control study was performed. Subjects with a history of MI (n = 121) and controls (n = 250) were drawn from the Rotterdam Study, a population-based cohort study of 7983 subjects > or = 55 years old. We determined TPA antigen and activity in plasma and genotyped all subjects for the Alu repeat insertion/deletion polymorphism in intron h in the TPA gene. Homozygosity for the insertion was associated with twice as many cases of MI as was homozygosity for the deletion (odds ratio, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.11-4.50). TPA antigen was positively associated with the risk of MI; compared with that in the lowest quartile, the relative risks (odds ratio) in the second, third, and upper quartiles were 1.7 (CI, 0.9-3.3), 2.3 (1.2-4.4), and 2.0 (1.0-3.8), respectively. When adjusted for body mass index, HDL and total cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and current smoking, the risk a...Continue Reading
