What is the long-term prognosis of young patients with acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous coronary intervention?
Young patients with ACS treated with PCI remain at high risk for recurrent cardiovascular events and mortality, highlighting the need for aggressive secondary prevention.
May support intensified secondary prevention in young ACS survivors; leaves open prospective trials to define optimal strategies.
Patients with ACS in young age are at high risk for major CV and/or mortality in long-term follow-up with a high rate of recurrent CV events. Close follow-up and risk factor management for secondary prevention have a major role, particularly in this population.
