Discussion

Implication

Supports risk assessment in adults ≤40; leaves open whether modifying these factors alters early CAD incidence.

Structured PICO

Population

292 young patients (≤40 years of age, mean age 36.7 ± 3.7 years, 272 men and 20 women) undergoing coronary angiography at Fuwai Hospital between July and December 2006.

Comparator

Patients without coronary artery disease (non-CAD group, n=75, <50% stenosis) compared to those with coronary artery disease (CAD group, n=217, ≥50% stenosis).

Outcome

Presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), defined as ≥50% stenosis in the coronary lumen on coronary angiography.

Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, particularly heavy smoking and metabolic syndrome components, are strongly associated with the presence of angiographic coronary artery disease in adults aged 40 years and younger.
