Introduction:The main cause of Cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction, is the arteriosclerosis of coronary arteries. Although the risk factors for arthroplasia are multiple, the risk factors for coronary artery disease are classified into two categories of unmodifiable, such as gender, age and familial history, and modifiable, such as high levels of blood lipids, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, malaise, stress, emotional exertion, inappropriate diet, taking birth control pills, and diabetes.Diabetes is also the most common disease caused by metabolic disorders..This study was designed to examine the association between diabetes and blood group in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Methodology:The present descriptive cross-sectional study included 116 diabetic patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction admitting to Amiralmomenin Hospital in Zabol. The control group, as well, included 116 patients with non-diabetic acute myocardial infarction admitting to the same hospital.. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS22 and descriptive and chi-square tests. Findings: blood group A was the most common blood group in both groups participating in the present study. There was no significant difference between two groups in terms of distribution of the blood group.In the case group, 104 subjects were Rh positive and 12 were Rh negative and in the control group, 101 subjects were Rh positive and 15 were Rh negative.The difference between two groups was significant in regard with Rh type. Discussion: blood group gene is around 34th band of chromosome numbers 9 and how the blood group affects the interactions of genesseems quite related. All these evidence and many other research findings strongly reinforce the likelihood of association of blood groups with diabetes.
