Key result
In young patients (<40 years) with acute coronary syndrome, low LVEF, NYHA class IV, and Killip class IV were associated with short-term mortality, with 87% presenting with STEMI.
Why the study?
Changing economic stature and lifestyle choices have affected healthcare in India, leading to an increased prevalence of ACS in young individuals.
Cross-Sectional (n=162)
No
In young Indian patients presenting with ACS, STEMI and single vessel disease are the most common presentations, with severe heart failure markers (low LVEF, high NYHA/Killip class) predicting short-term mortality.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Documents clinical/angiographic patterns in young Indian ACS patients; leaves open whether patterns warrant age-specific prevention or prospective validation.
Varun et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute coronary syndrome (n=162). Clinical and angiographic profile (low LVEF, NYHA class IV, Killip class IV) was evaluated on Short-term (1 month) prognosis (rehospitalization and mortality). In young patients (<40 years) with acute coronary syndrome, low LVEF, NYHA class IV, and Killip class IV were associated with short-term mortality, with 87% presenting with STEMI.
