Key result
In 224 young patients (≤45 years) with ACS, dyslipidemia (57.6%) was the most common risk factor, and only 2 patients had recurrent ACS at a mean 12-month follow-up.
Why the study?
Acute coronary syndrome in young patients (≤45 years) has devastating social and economic consequences, prompting this evaluation of clinical presentation, angiographic findings, treatment, and short-term follow-up.
Cohort (n=224)
No
Young patients (≤45 years) with ACS predominantly present with single-vessel disease and low syntax scores, and have a favorable short-term prognosis.

Supports favorable short-term prognosis in young ACS; leaves open long-term risk stratification and prevention trials.
Ashida et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=224). Acute coronary syndrome risk factors and angiographic profile was evaluated. In 224 young patients (≤45 years) with ACS, dyslipidemia (57.6%) was the most common risk factor, and only 2 patients had recurrent ACS at a mean 12-month follow-up.
