ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of the A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) gene with acute myocardial infarction and also with the severity of coronary artery disease. METHODS: A prospective, cross-sectional study was carried out with 110 patients with acute myocardial infarction, who, on coronary angiography, had significant lesions (> 50%) assessed according to 3 criteria of severity: number of vessels affected, morphology of the atherosclerotic plaque, and coronary risk score. The control group comprised 104 individuals with no coronary lesions. The A1166C polymorphism of AT1R gene was determined by polymerase chain reaction in the DNA of leukocytes in peripheral blood. The classic coronary risk factors were analyzed in all individuals. RESULTS: When stratifying the genotypes in regard to risk factors, only smoking predominated in the AC heterozygous patients (P = 0.02). The genotypic frequency in the infarcted patients was as follows: AA = 54.5%; AC = 35.5%; and CC = 10%, which was similar and nonsignificant in regard to that in the control group (P = 0.83). No risk increase occurred for acute myocardial infarction when comparing the genotypes as follows: CC vs AA (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 0.50 - 3.59); AC vs AA (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 0.58 - 1.84); and AA+AC vs AA (OR = 1.33; 95% CI = 0.51 - 3.45). None of the severity criteria showed a significant correlation with the genotypes. CONCLUSION: According to our results, no correlation exists between the A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1R) gene and acute myocardial infarction or the severity of coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO OBJETIVO:Avaliar a associação do polimorfismo A1166C do gene do receptor AT1 da angiotensina II (AT1R) com o infarto agudo do miocárdio e a severidade da doença arterial coronariana. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo, transversal de 110 pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio submetidos à angiografia coronariana com lesão significante (> 50 por cento) avaliada por três critérios de severidade: número de vasos lesados, morfologia da placa aterosclerótica e escore de risco coronariano. Sem lesões coronarianas 104 indivíduos controles. O polimorfismo A1166C do gene do AT1R foi determinado pela reação em cadeia da polimerase no DNA dos leucócitos do sangue periférico. Os fatores de risco coronariano clássicos foram analisados em todos os indivíduos. RESULTADOS: Na estratificação dos genótipos em relação aos fatores de risco apenas o tabagismo teve predominância nos heterozigotos AC (p = 0,02). A freqüência dos genótipos nos pacientes infartados foi de AA = 54,5 por cento; AC = 35,5 por cento e CC = 10 por cento, sendo similar e não significativa em relação aos controles (p = 0,83). Não houve aumento do risco de infarto agudo do miocárdio nas comparações dos genótipos CC vs AA (OR = 1,35; IC-95 por cento = 0,50 - 3,59), AC vs AA (OR = 1,03; IC-95 por cento = 0,58 - 1,84 e AA+AC vs AA (OR = 1,33; IC-95 por cento = 0,51 - 3,45). Nenhum dos critérios de severidade teve associação significativa com os genótipos. CONCLUSAO: Os nossos resultados indicam não haver associação do polimorfismo A1166C do AT1R com o infarto agudo do miocárdio e nem com a severidade da doença arterial coronariana segundo nossos resultados.
