Cases of adult obesity have been rising in every age group and gender of the Saudi population. If this trend continues it can lead to drastically high incidences of diabetes and the coronary heart disease (CHD). In a recent 2014 world health survey by the WHO, Saudi Arabia was ranked 27th in the world in CHD related deaths. Additionally in Saudi Arabia CHD was the leading cause of death in 2014. Therefore, in this study we decided to look at the possible correlation between the inheritance of blood group antigens and the high incidences of myocardial infarction (MI) among the adult male patients. Results of our study show that in the randomly selected male control group 20.7% were A+ and 3.35% were Awhile 14.3% were found to be B+ and 3.95% were B-. AB blood group was the least prevalent blood group among the control population. Only 8.2% were found to be AB+ and 2.43% were AB-. As previously reported by us and others O+ blood group was the most prevalent blood group among the control population at 38.3% while only 8.5% were found to be O-. In contrast when we analyzed the blood group distribution among the 111 MI male patients our results showed a statistically significant reduction in the combined Rhmale MI patients as compared to the Rhindividuals in the control group. Additionally we found a significantly high prevalence of A+ blood group (30.6%) among the MI patients as compared to the control population. Our results also showed a small but not a significant increase in B+ and O+ blood groups in MI patients as compared to the controls. Finally our results show statistically significant reduction in OMI patients as compared to the control population. In conclusion A+ individuals show statistically high incidences of MI and Oindividuals show statistically low incidences of MI in male patients. Our results also show a statistically significant reduction in the RhMI patients as compared to the control group. Significance of this reduction is not clear at this time.
