ROC curves of 5 differentially ferroptosis-related genes associated with myocardial infarction showed that SLC2A3, EPAS1, HMOX1, ATM and FANCD2 genes had good diagnostic value for myocardial infarction, and the area under the curve had statistical significance (P < 0.05). Here, EPAS1 is linked to myocardial infarction.
