Bhardwaj et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=124). Conventional cardiovascular risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of risk factors and angiographic findings. Among young adults with acute myocardial infarction, 95.2% presented with ST-elevation MI, 71% had significant coronary artery disease (predominantly single-vessel LAD disease), and smoking was the most prevalent risk factor (58.8%).
