Researchers want to understand why some young people have heart attacks without the usual risk factors like high blood pressure or smoking. This study will collect blood samples and genetic information from about 1,200 young adults in Singapore who have recently experienced a heart attack. By studying the genes and proteins in their blood, doctors hope to discover new warning signs that could help prevent heart attacks in the future.
Heart attacks in people under 60 are surprisingly common, especially in Asian populations, yet we don't fully understand why they happen in people without typical risk factors. This research could reveal hidden genetic clues that doctors currently miss, potentially leading to better screening and prevention strategies for young people.

You would visit the research clinic at the National Heart Centre Singapore to have blood samples taken and to share information about your medical history. The study is observational, meaning researchers will analyze your blood for genetic and protein markers rather than give you new medication. Based on the enrollment size and nature of the research, participation would likely involve one or more visits to provide samples and complete health questionnaires.
