“…11 Family history is a factor known to be present in many of these patients and probably represents a combination of risk factors that are genetically determined. 12 But in our study family history of CAD was not that frequent. Most of the patients in our study are male which can easily be explained by the fact that male gender is prone to CAD.…”

“…Fortunately, the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and symptomatic CAD in young adults is low; most studies show that only about 3% of all CAD cases occur in this age range . 1,2 Many early studies 3 evaluating these patients labeled them as having "premature" CAD. Premature CAD is defined as cardiac events occurring before the age of 45 in men and 55 in women.…”

Coronary artery disease (CAD), predominately manifest in older individuals, is a devastating disease precisely because an otherwise healthy person in the prime of life may die or become disabled without warning. When the afflicted individual is under the age of 40, the tragic consequences for family, friends, and occupation are particularly catastrophic and unexpected. Fortunately, the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) and symptomatic CAD in young adults is low; most studies show that only about 3% of all CAD cases occur in this age range. Premature CAD is defined as cardiac events occurring before the age of 45 in men and 55 in women. In its severe form it is defined as CAD occurring below the age of 40 years. Prematurity and severity suggests that the disease starts at an early age and has a malignant course. In this study, we aim to investigate the major risk factor (smoking, Hypertension, Diabetes and dyslipidemia ) as defined by ACC-AHA pattern in ACS patient 40years or below admitted in Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre (SGNHC) from April 2008 to April 2009. There were all together 54 ACS patients, male 44(81%) and female 10(19%). HTN is the risk factor which was more commonly diagnosed and treated, while Dyslipidemia, DM and IFG were not usually diagnosed in young patient before they were diagnosed CAD. Dyslipidemia was the most common comprising 83.3% followed by HTN 70%, smoking 70%, abnormal blood glucose level 50%, DM in 22.2% while IFG in 27.7 %. High total cholesterol (48%) is the common form of dyslipidemia followed by high LDL (44.4%), low HDL in 31.4%. When non modifiable risk factor family history is excluded, 85% of the patients have two or more risk factors of CAD. When smoking along with family history is excluded 94.5% of the patients have 1 or more risks factors for CAD.

“…This view soon conflicted with the high incidence of coronary heart disease, however, where it has been established clearly that the obstruction or stenosis of a coronary artery is strongly linked to myocardial ischemia and that the phenomenon is far from rare [13,[26][27][28][29][30]. Attempts to explain this conflict continue today [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], with no conclu-sive explanation as yet.…”

Summary. Blood supply to the heart for its own metabolic needs is discussed in terms of the vascular system which provides this supply within the framework of the systemic circulation. A brief description of these (coronary) vessels is given in the classical! anatomical tradition, but more emphasis is placed on their functional arrangement. A possible functional design of the coronary system underlying the wide variability in its anatomical details is discussed. Other features also discussed are left/right dominance, collateral circulation, and the special flow conditions under which the coronary vessels function.
