In a recent Finnish study, an association of high serum ferritin levels with excess risk of myocardial infarction in men was reported. This was the first such report in the literature so we decided to review the clinical records of 298 male patient seen over a 10-year period in Southern West Virginia, in whom serum ferritin levels were obtained. Of the 32 patients who experienced an acute myocardial infarction, there were no significant statistical differences between their mean ferritin levels and the ferritin levels of the 266 patients with no myocardial infarct. Only two of the 32 patients with myocardial infarct showed an elevated serum ferritin level, so our findings do not support the hypothesis that high serum ferritin levels are associated with myocardial infarct.
在芬兰最近的一项研究中，报告了男性血清铁蛋白水平高与心肌梗死风险增加之间的关联。这是文献中首次出现此类报告，因此我们决定回顾在西弗吉尼亚州南部10年间就诊的298名男性患者的临床记录，这些患者均检测了血清铁蛋白水平。在32例发生急性心肌梗死的患者中，其平均铁蛋白水平与266例无心肌梗死患者的铁蛋白水平之间无显著统计学差异。32例心肌梗死患者中只有2例血清铁蛋白水平升高，因此我们的研究结果不支持血清铁蛋白水平高与心肌梗死相关的假说。
