Abstract

Background: Along with environmental components, genetic factors play an essential role in the pathophysiology and progression of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). There is limited and conflicting data on the influence of the AGT M235T genetic variant on coronary atherosclerosis and death in AMI patients.

Methods: We carried out a prospective cohort study among 504 Vietnamese AMI patients selected between January 2020 and May 2021. All patients underwent invasive coronary angiography, had AGT M235T genetic variant genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction method, and were followed up for 12-month all-cause mortality.

Results: The proportions of the MM, MT, and TT genotypes were 0.4%, 20.8%, and 78.8%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the TT genotype and the MM + MT genotype groups regarding the position and number of stenosed coronary artery branches and the Gensini score. The AGT M235T genetic variant did not affect 12-month mortality (hazard ratio of TT vs. MM + MT: 1.185; 95% confidence interval: 0.596-2.354; P = 0.629). Subgroup analyses by age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor blocker therapy also did not reveal an association between the AGT M235T variant and all-cause mortality.

Conclusion: In summary, the AGT M235T genetic variant was not found to be associated with coronary atherosclerosis characteristics and 12-month mortality in Vietnamese patients with AMI. Further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods are needed to investigate this issue.

Keywords: AGT M235T; Acute myocardial infarction; Coronary atherosclerosis; Genetic variant; Prognosis.
