“…Compared to the statistics reported by Gohlke et al [1981] the present patient sample shows considerable reductions in nicotine abuse (86% in initial study, 8% in follow-up conducted 4 years later) and adipositas (46% in first study, 10% in follow-up). Comparing statistics for healthy males under 40 years of age reported by Niissel [1980] indicates that the present postinfarction patients are more conscious of their health than are healthy males.…”

70 male postinfarction patients, who were under 40 years of age at the time of transmural myocardial infarction, participated in an inpatient control examination 3.8 years following first hospitalization (mean age: 40 years, SD = 3.5 years). A multivessel disease occurred in 52% of the patients, in 80% a multilocular disease was diagnosed and in 25 % coronary angiography indicated a progression in coronary sclerosis. Coronary risk factors had been considerably reduced. 78% were capable of working. Job-related stress factors of at least moderate intensity were present in about 30% of the jobs now held by the patients. Progressive morphological change occurred in patients who are older, have a multilocular disease, are subjected to more frequent and more intensive job-related stress factors, show less concern for their health and tend to leave their old living habits unchanged. In patients with multivessel disease, time pressure elicited more psychophysiological activation; furthermore, doing too many tasks at the same time and a reduced control over vocational success, together with sufficient self-confidence and an exaggerated job devotion are found in these patients. Retired patients differ from those who went back to work in cardiological, psychological and psychophysiological aspects. The importance of psychological and psychophysiological findings for a successful vocational reintegration is emphasized by these results.

“…[16][17][18] Many studies have shown LAD to be the vessel most commonly involved followed by RCA and LCX in young patients. 10,17 In comparision with old age ACS patients, our study indicates that the distribution of coronary lesions is not age dependant.…”

“…Younger patients denied any history of chest pain prior to MI [15]. Older patient frequently have triple vessel disease [10,[16][17][18][19][20]. The long-term prognosis of the patient depends upon the number of vessels involved and the degree of LV dysfunction [11,21,22].…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) was also done which was negative for any acute pulmonary embolism, and anticoagulation was discontinued in the light of negative CTA. The patient was discharged from hospital with follow-up in outpatient department. However, the patient came back to emergency department with worsening dyspnea. Lab work was significant for elevated troponin I and ECG on admission showed normal sinus rhythm and S1Q3T3 pattern. Patient had coronary angiography which showed three vessel disease. IJCRI publishes Conclusion:Smoking is conventionally recognized as the most common risk factor for heart disease. The CAD in young adults has a poor long-term prognosis. Smoking cessation remains a significant challenge in younger population. More awareness and cessation measures are required to address this emerging situation. Given lack of warning signs in these patients, physicians need to be more aggressive in managing risk factors as CAD in younger patient can have adverse outcomes.
