Is there any association between ABO blood types and slow coronary flow?

Journal Title: Health Sciences Journal of Adıyaman University - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Aim: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is defined as a microvascular disorder characterized by slow advance of the contrast material administered during angiography, despite absence of epicardial coronary artery occlusion and delayed opacification of distal vascular structures. Genetically inherited ABO blood types are presumed to play role in coronary artery disease. In this study, the relationship between SCF and ABO blood types was investigated. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective study, and included 250 cases that underwent coronary angiography procedure in our center between 2016 January and 2018 December (one hundred and twenty five cases of SCF and 125 cases of normal coronary angiogram). ABO blood types were determined using standard agglutination techniques in both study groups. Blood types were compared between both subject groups. Results: The frequency of blood type A was increased among patients with SCF in comparison with control subjects (p<0.001). High density lipoprotein cholesterol was increased in SCF group (p<0.001). Triglyceride, , total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were increased in the SCF group when compared to controls (p=0.003, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively).
