According to a report by "The Times of India", researchers have discovered how blood type can increase the risk of a heart attack. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, the American Heart Association (AHA), which analyzed more than 400,000 people.

A similar study of more than 1.36 million people was conducted by the European Society of Cardiology in 2017, and this study also found that people without a type O blood group are 9% more likely to have cardiovascular disease, especially heart attacks.

The researchers compared blood types A and B with blood type O and found that people with blood type B were at increased risk of a heart attack, according to the study, and the risk of developing a myocardial infarction (heart attack) in people with blood type B increased by 15% compared to individuals Type O blood type.

People with blood type A have an 11% increased risk of heart failure compared to blood type O, both of which are forms of heart disease, but heart failure tends to develop gradually while heart attacks occur suddenly. A heart attack can lead to heart failure over time.

According to the European Society of Cardiology, the increased risk of heart attack or heart failure between blood groups A and B could be due to the fact that they are more likely to have blood clots. A 2017 study showed that people of blood type other than O had a greater concentration of blood clotting protein. Associated with clotting events.

People with blood types A and type B were 44% more likely to have blood clots, which is the formation of a blood clot. Blood clots play a major role in heart attacks, as they can block a coronary artery and strive to get the heart muscle from oxygen and nutrients. It leads to a heart attack.
