“…[25] from Boston compared young men and women with MI and noted atherosclerosis to be more advanced and accounting for most MIs in men and less so in women. The prevalence of normal coronaries, atherosclerotic CAD, and nonatherosclerosis causes of MI in young patients have varied in different studies.…”

Aim:To assess the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in 200 consecutive patients aged 35 years or less undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography.Patients and Methods:Findings in these 200 patients (≤ 35 years of age) were analyzed to find the extent and severity of CAD. The mean age was 31.69 (±3.76) years. Majority were males (94%) and from the Arab ethnicity (70.5%).Result:Smoking (71%) and history of premature CAD (27%) were the most frequent risk factors (RF). History of previous ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI) was present in 68%. Anterior wall MI was the most frequent location (63.3%). The majority (54.3%) had moderate or large size MI. Ejection fraction (EF) less than 50% was noted in 30.3%. Left main or triple vessel CAD was seen in 15%. One- and two-vessel CAD was seen in 32.5% and 19% patients, respectively. Coronary angiogram was completely normal in 23.5%. The majority (54.5%) were treated conservatively and the rest (45.5%) needed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The mean number of stents used was 1.3 ± 0.67 and the mean length of stents used was 20.3 ± 12.6 mm.Conclusion:The extent and severity of CAD was very significant in this subgroup of very young (≤35 years) Asian patients. Smoking was the main risk factor and half of the patients needed either PCI or CABG.

“…Patients with myocardial infarction at young age generally have less coronary atherosclerosis than older patients with myocardial infarction (4)(5)(6). Therefore a raised liability for thrombosis might contribute to an acute event occurring at young age.…”

SummarySeventy-three (58 men and 15 women) survivors of myocardial infarction below 45 years of age and 73 healthy matched controls were investigated regarding in vitro platelet aggregability to ADP and collagen, platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin and plasma levels of beta-thromboglobulin, platelet factor 4 and fibrinogen. The patients, studied 3-6 months after the acute event, had a reduced platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin. They did not differ from the controls regarding the other platelet function tests. Females had higher platelet reactivity than men. Smoking, obesity or beta- blocker treatment did not influence platelet function. The patients had higher fibrinogen levels than the controls. Gender did not influence, while smoking and obesity increased plasma fibrinogen. Patients on beta-blockade had lower fibrinogen levels than patients without this therapy. The high fibrinogen level and the low platelet sensitivity to prostacyclin might indicate an increased thrombotic liability in young myocardial infarction patients.

“…[1][2][3][4] For example, there is a lesser degree of coronary atherosclerosis, and a relatively higher prevalence of normal coronary arteries in young women with myocardial infarction (MI). 1 Previous studies have suggested homocysteine, 5 anticardiolipin antibodies, 6 smoking, 7,8 lipid disorders, 9,10 oral contraceptives (OCPs), 11,12 and various thrombophilic mutations 5,13,14 as possible risk factors for MI in young women.…”

Although this study may have been underpowered to recognize the contribution of other risk factors, we found that the dominant predictor of nonfatal MI in young women was the MetS. Screening young women with central obesity for other parameters of the MetS may help reduce the risk of MI at an early age.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
