Heart Diseases
Your chances of developing heart disease or blood clots are greater if you are part of the A, B, or AB blood type groups. According to a study published in the American Heart Association journal, it was found that people in the A or B blood type groups had a combined 8% greater heart attack risk and 10% greater heart failure risk. It was also found that individuals within these groups had a 51% greater chance of developing deep vein thrombosis. They also had a 47% higher risk of developing pulmonary embolisms.
