Key result
Multivessel disease affects ~40% of young STEMI patients, driven by diabetes and hypertension.
Why the study?
Despite PCI improving acute myocardial infarction survival, multivessel disease remains associated with a worse prognosis compared to single-vessel disease.
Do clinical profiles and outcomes differ between young STEMI patients with multivessel versus single-vessel disease undergoing primary PCI?

Supports heightened awareness of multivessel disease in young STEMI; leaves open causal roles of diabetes and hypertension.

Do clinical profiles and outcomes differ between young STEMI patients with multivessel versus single-vessel disease undergoing primary PCI?
In young patients presenting with STEMI, multivessel disease is highly prevalent (approximately 40%) and is associated with modifiable risk factors like diabetes and hypertension.
Ashraf et al. (2020) conducted an observational in STEMI. Multivessel disease vs. Single-vessel disease was evaluated. Multivessel disease comprised around 40% of young patients presenting with STEMI, with diabetes and hypertension playing a role in its pathogenesis.
