Furthermore, when compared to patients with low anti-apoA-1 IgG levels, those tested positive for anti-apoA-1 IgG were found to have: (i) higher basal heart rate upon discharge, a well-established cardiovascular prognostic feature after MI [27–29], and (ii) a higher proinflammatory cytokine profile in plasma, possibly associated with atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability [30]. This evidence concerns the gene APOA1 and myocardial infarction.
