Key result
Among young patients (≤35 years) with ACS, 86% were male, 83% were active smokers, and 91% presented with STEMI, most commonly involving the proximal LAD (62%).
Why the study?
The clinical profile and angiographic patterns in young patients (≤35 years) presenting with acute coronary syndrome remained to be characterized.
Observational (n=108)
No
Young patients presenting with ACS are predominantly male smokers who typically present with anterior STEMI due to single-vessel proximal LAD disease.

Khan et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=108). Acute coronary syndrome in young adults was evaluated on Clinical profile including demographics, co-morbidities and angiographic findings. Among young patients (≤35 years) with ACS, 86% were male, 83% were active smokers, and 91% presented with STEMI, most commonly involving the proximal LAD (62%).
