Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in the Young: Angiographic Features and Risk Factor Analysis of Patients with ACS before the Age of 35 Years
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Although there are many studies of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in young, there are very few studies of ACS in age group <35 years. Besides, there is hardly any data available about clinical and angiographic profile of our regional population in our young ACS patients <35 years of age. Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to study the clinical and angiographic profile in age group <35 years presenting as ACS. Material and Methods: It was a prospective hospital-based study. All patients with age <35 years presenting as acute myocardial infarction (MI) from March 2012 to March 2014 were enrolled. Clinical presentation, coventional risk factors, and angiographic profiles were noted. Results: A total of 30 patients were studied. The mean age of the patients was 30.87 ± 3.72 (range 21-35) years. All patients were males. Of these 14 patients had anterior wall ST elevation MI and other two had anterior wall non-ST elevation MI. 14 patients had infarct of the inferior wall. Smoking (66.66%) and dyslipidemia (50%) were two major conventional coronary risk factors followed by family history of premature coronary artery disease (26.6%) and hypertension (13.3%). The most common arteriographic finding was the involvement of one vessel (60%) followed by zero-vessel disease (23.33%), double-vessel disease was seen in only three patients and there were two patients with triple-vessel disease. None of the patients had left main involvement. The most common vessel to be involved was left anterior descending (LAD) (83.3%). Conclusion: Smoking and dyslipidemia are the most common modifiable conventional risk factors. Single-vessel disease of LAD was common anatomic presentation. Further larger studies are needed to confirm the findings and implement various preventive strategies to decrease disease burden.
