Very young patients (≤35 years) undergoing coronary angiography have a high prevalence of significant coronary artery disease, predominantly single-vessel, which is strongly associated with smoking and frequently requires revascularization.
Christus et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=200). Very young age (≤35 years) was evaluated on Presence of significant coronary artery disease. Among very young patients (≤35 years) undergoing coronary angiography, 65% had significant coronary artery disease, with smoking as the main risk factor (71%) and 45.5% requiring revascularization.
