Key result
Smoking and dyslipidemia dominate in young MI, with single-vessel disease presenting in ~76% of cases.
Why the study?
There has been a rising incidence of acute myocardial infarction in patients aged 40 years or younger, necessitating study of risk factors, complications, and outcomes in this group.
Observational (n=50)
No
In young patients (≤40 years) with acute MI, smoking and dyslipidemia are the most common risk factors, and single-vessel disease is the predominant angiographic finding, with generally favorable short-term outcomes.
May guide smoking cessation and lipid screening in young adults; leaves open whether single-vessel patterns warrant modified management.
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was believed to be an uncommon entity in the young, of late there has been a rising incidence in this group of population. The present research was undertaken to study the type of MI, cardiac enzyme markers, relative incidence of risk factors, complications and outcome of MI in young patients. Method: Total 50 patients of aged 40 years or younger, who were diagnosed to have acute MI, were enrolled in the study during the period from 1st Jan 2017 to 31st Dec 2018. A detailed history was taken; thorough clinical and diagnostic evaluation, ECG and echocardiography were done along with angiography. Patients were managed accordingly. Results: The mean age of patient was 34.16

Sapkal et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=50). Risk factors and clinical profile of early-onset myocardial infarction was evaluated on Prevalence of risk factors, angiographic profile, and clinical outcomes. In young adults under 40 with acute myocardial infarction, smoking (68%) and dyslipidemia (64%) were the most prevalent risk factors, predominantly presenting as single vessel disease (76%).
