Key result
Severe coronary stenosis peaks in older autopsy cases, occurring in 6 individuals aged 61-70.
Why the study?
Sudden deaths in younger age groups due to ischemic heart disease are a major concern in India, with earlier onset compared to other populations.
Observational
No
Severe coronary artery stenosis is present even in younger age groups (31-60 years) in the Indian population, highlighting the need for early cardiovascular screening.
Autopsy data suggest severe CAD in younger Indian adults; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change screening practice.
