Description

Maddalena Ardissino and a large team asked whether genes can flag who will have a second heart event after an early heart attack, in a 2024 study. The cohort came from an Italian study of people whose first attack struck before age forty five. The team built a polygenic score from many small gene effects and also checked for single gene faults.

Over about twenty years of follow up, half the patients had a new event such as a second attack, a stroke, or death. Each step up in the gene score raised the risk by about a fifth. The score beat most single risk factors, though adding it to standard factors lifted the full model only a small amount.
