Air pollution poses bigger risk of heart attack for those with A, B, or AB blood type

People who have A, B, or AB blood types are at an elevated risk of having a heart attack during periods of significant air pollution, compared to those with the O blood type. The ABO gene – which is present in people who have A, B, and AB blood types – is the only gene that is been validated in large international studies to predict heart attacks among people with coronary disease, researchers said. Researchers had already identified a level of pollution at which the increased risk occurred for people with non-O blood types, and that threshold is 25 microgrammes of pollution per cubic metre. The level of risk for people with O blood type is much smaller, at 10 percent instead of the non-O blood type's 25 percent per 10 additional microgrammes per cubic meter.
