Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Their Association with Acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Young Adults: Evidence from a Tertiary Cardiac Care Centre

Key Result

Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were assessed to determine their frequency and pattern among young adults presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.

Key Points

• This research aims to identify modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in young adults suffering from acute STEMI.
• Conducted at a tertiary cardiac care center
• Assessed young adults presenting with acute STEMI
• Analyzed the frequency and pattern of risk factors
• Identified a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors such as smoking and obesity in young adults with STEMI
• Demonstrated a strong association between these risk factors and the incidence of acute STEMI
• Provided evidence supporting the need for targeted prevention strategies in this population
