I am 31 / F and had a mild MI due to embolis at the age of 28. (They were never able to explain the reason for the MI, said it might be genetics, and could run tests to find out why but I was so healthy that it shouldn't happen again) There is a family history of early cardiac events. Recently due to other, non-heart problems, my doctor was conducting blood tests and found the MTHFR mutation and the factor V. I know that the Factor V is a contribuiting cause to clotting disorders, but I am still confused on how the MTHFR mutation plays in. Can anyone help?
Thanks jenn
