Key result
Among young adults under 30 presenting with first STEMI, anterior wall myocardial infarction occurred in 82.9% and obstructive CAD was present in 61% of cases.
Why the study?
Acute myocardial infarction is increasingly affecting young individuals, but clinical and angiographic data in adults aged less than 30 years from Central India are very scarce.
What is the clinical and angiographic profile of very young adults (aged <30 years) presenting with their first acute myocardial infarction?

What is the clinical and angiographic profile of very young adults (aged <30 years) presenting with their first acute myocardial infarction?
In very young adults (<30 years) presenting with first STEMI in Central India, the most common presentation is anterior wall MI with obstructive CAD frequently involving the LAD, and major risk factors include male gender, dyslipidemia, and tobacco use.
Highlights AMI patterns in young adults; extends limited regional data but remains hypothesis-generating without prospective validation.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is afflicting young individuals more frequently nowadays. The present study was planned to evaluate the clinical and angiographic profile in adults aged less than 30 years, presenting with first AMI as data from Central India is very scarce. This cross-sectional study included 41 patients of STEMI with a mean age of 27 ± 2.8 years. Risk factors were male gender (95.1%), dyslipidemia (51.2%), tobacco consumption (48.8%), obesity (34.1%), and smoking (29.3%). Anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) was the most common presentation (82.9%) with obstructive CAD noted in 61% cases frequently due to LAD coronary artery involvement (46.4%).

Deshmukh et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=41). Clinical and angiographic profile was evaluated on Clinical and angiographic profile (presentation and CAD involvement). Among young adults under 30 presenting with first STEMI, anterior wall myocardial infarction occurred in 82.9% and obstructive CAD was present in 61% of cases.
