DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Most epidemiological studies on cardiovascular disease have concentrated on long-term exposures that contribute to the onset of disease years to decades later. A more recent area of research has, however, focused on the short-term events that trigger the onset of an acute myocardial infarction. It has been shown that heavy physical exertion and coffee intake are two triggers of acute myocardial infarction. However, it is possible that genetic variation alter the susceptibility to the acute effects of heavy physical exertion and coffee. We will use the unique characteristics of the case-crossover study to assess potential effect modification by genetic variation on the triggering of myocardial infarction by coffee intake and heavy physical exertion. The case-crossover design is a method for studying transient effects on the risk of acute events. Rather than comparing some individuals with others, as would a usual case-control design, we make comparisons within individuals, comparing the hazard period (time period right before the event) with a control period. Therefore, any fixed (i.e. not time-varying) characteristics like age, sex, genetic background, etc. cannot be assessed as main effects. However, fixed characteristics can be evaluated as modifiers of the transient exposure. Our overall objective is to identify genetic modifiers of triggers of acute myocardial infarction by examining genes involved in the sympathetic nervous system, renin-angiotensin system, caffeine metabolism, and genes that mediate some of the physiologic effects of caffeine. We will also evaluate 21 polymorphisms identified in recent genome-wide association studies. The study population consists of 2,300 incident cases of nonfatal myocardial infarction in the Central Valley of Costa Rica recruited from 1994 to 2004. DNA is already available in this population. The proposed study is novel and offers an unusual opportunity to expand our understanding of how genetic background can modify the triggering effect of transient risk exposures. Understanding the genetic basis for the variability in response to triggers of myocardial infarction is essential for identifying susceptible sub-populations that can modify their life styles to improve health. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This study will help understand the genetic basis for the variability in response to triggers of myocardial infarction. Results from this study may help to identify susceptible sub-populations that can modify their life styles to improve health.

描述（由申请人提供）：大多数关于心血管疾病的流行病学研究集中在长期暴露上，这些暴露有助于数十年后的疾病发作。然而，最新的研究领域集中在触发急性心肌梗塞发作的短期事件上。已经表明，大量的身体劳累和咖啡摄入量是急性心肌梗塞的两个触发因素。但是，遗传变异可能会改变对重量劳累和咖啡的急性影响的敏感性。我们将使用案例交叉研究的独特特征来评估通过遗传变异对咖啡摄入和大量身体劳累触发心肌梗塞的遗传变化的改变。案例交叉设计是一种研究对急性事件风险的瞬态影响的方法。我们没有像通常的病例对照设计那样将某些人与他人进行比较，而是在个人内部进行比较，将危险期（事件发生前的时间段）与控制期进行比较。因此，任何固定的（即不随时间变化的）特征（例如年龄，性别，遗传背景等）都不能被评估为主要影响。但是，可以将固定特征评估为瞬态暴露的修饰符。我们的总体目的是通过检查涉及交感神经系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，咖啡因代谢和介导咖啡因的某些生理作用的基因，通过检查涉及交感神经系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统，基因来鉴定急性心肌梗塞的遗传修饰符。我们还将评估最近全基因组关联研究中发现的21种多态性。该研究人群由1994年至2004年招募的哥斯达黎加中部山谷中的2300例非致命性心肌梗塞事件组成。DNA已在该人群中可用。拟议的研究是新颖的，提供了一个与众不同的机会，可以扩展我们对遗传背景如何改变瞬态风险暴露的触发作用的理解。了解响应心肌梗死触发因素的遗传基础对于识别易感亚群体的遗传基础至关重要，以改善其生活方式以改善健康状况。 公共卫生相关性：这项研究将有助于了解响应心肌梗塞触发因素的变异性的遗传基础。这项研究的结果可能有助于确定易感的亚种群，可以改变其生活方式以改善健康。
