Researchers want to understand how often a specific gene defect called ALDH2 deficiency appears in people who have had heart attacks or developed blocked arteries in their legs. This gene defect is very common in Asian populations and may increase the risk of these serious heart and blood vessel problems. The study will collect blood samples from 600 patients to learn more about this connection.
Previous research suggests that people with this gene defect have a much higher risk of heart disease and blocked arteries, especially in Asian populations. However, no large study has looked at exactly how common this defect is among patients with these conditions. Understanding this link could help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier and develop better treatments.

If you qualify, you will be asked to provide a blood sample that researchers will test for the ALDH2 gene defect. This is a one-time visit at Chimei Medical Center. The study is observational, meaning researchers are simply collecting information about you and your genetic makeup — you won't be taking any new medication or undergoing any special procedures as part of this research.
