A Message to Health Care Providers: “A” Blood Group Is Associated with Higher Heart Disease Risk in Young Saudi Men
The present findings suggest that higher frequency of blood group "A" was found among male patients with PCAD and CAD compared to other blood groups. In addition, blood group "O" is less associated with male PCAD and CAD in Saudi population. Identification of ABO blood groups might assist in the genetic screening as well as guiding prophylaxis for premature CAD.
