Non ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Genetics

To date, there does not appear to be any single genetic marker predictive acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In a recent validation study of genetic variants associated with (which includes ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), NSTEMI and UA) none of the 85 genetic variants tested were shown to be correlated with ACS. The study chose the polymorphic genetic variants based on statistically significant findings of prior studies.
