According to a research, people with Non-O blood type groups are more likely to have a heart attack.

Researchers have said that this is probably because blood group A, B and AB have high levels of blood-staining proteins.

They say that these results will help in understanding who has a higher risk of heart attack.

This report, presented in the European Society of Cardiology Congress, has been studied for about 1.3 million people.

Earlier research had shown that people with rare blood group AB have the highest risk of heart attack.

In fact, the O blood group in the UK is the most common. The number of such people is 48 percent.

Tesa Colle, researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen of the Netherlands, told that the risks associated with every blood group should be studied.

She said, "In the coming time, the information of the blood group should also be included in the investigation to avoid heart attacks."
