Key result
Younger ACS patients (≤40 years) had a higher frequency of family history of CAD (19% vs 9%, p=0.041) and less extensive coronary artery disease compared to older patients.
Why the study?
Do atherogenic risk factors and angiographic profiles differ between younger (≤40 years) and older (>40 years) Gujarati patients with acute coronary syndrome?

200 Gujarati patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary angiography, stratified into two age…

Supports earlier family history evaluation in young Gujarati ACS patients; leaves open whether genetics explain less extensive disease.

Do atherogenic risk factors and angiographic profiles differ between younger (≤40 years) and older (>40 years) Gujarati patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Younger Gujarati patients with ACS exhibit a distinct risk profile characterized by a stronger family history of CAD and higher cholesterol levels, but present with less extensive coronary artery disease compared to older patients.
Jayesh Prajapati (2015) conducted an observational in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=200). Younger age (≤40 years) vs. Older age (>40 years) was evaluated on Frequency and pattern of atherogenic risk factors and angiographic profiles. Younger ACS patients (≤40 years) had a higher frequency of family history of CAD (19% vs 9%, p=0.041) and less extensive coronary artery disease compared to older patients.
