What are the clinical risk factors and outcomes of young patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction?
What are the clinical risk factors and outcomes of young patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction?
Smoking, alcohol use disorder, family history of ischemic heart disease, and hyperuricaemia are prevalent risk factors in young patients with STEMI, highlighting the need for targeted risk factor modification.
Supports targeted risk factor assessment in young STEMI; leaves open whether modification improves outcomes.
More patients who were smokers, had AUD, or a family history of IHD were present in the young patient group. Hyperuricaemia (but not dyslipidaemia) was a prevalent risk factor in patients aged ≤ 45 years. Diabetes should be controlled to reduce cardiovascular events in young patients.
