Young men experiencing myocardial infarction (MI) often have multiple risk factors, including smoking and hypertension. Significant coronary artery disease was found in 64% of patients under 40.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Myocardial infarction (MI) in individuals under 40 is a growing concern.
  • Understanding risk factors and disease presentation in this demographic is crucial for effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the occurrence of ischemic heart disease risk factors.
  • To evaluate invasive and noninvasive investigation results within one year post-MI.
  • To assess the relationship between risk factors and coronary artery disease severity in young men.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a cohort of 25 men under 40 years old after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
  • Inclusion of data from invasive (coronary angiography) and noninvasive investigations.

  • Assessment of risk factors including smoking, lipid metabolism, hypertension, and family history.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant coronary artery stenosis (>50% lumen obstruction) was found in 64% of patients.
    • 36% had normal or non-significant coronary artery findings.
    • Dominant risk factors identified were smoking, lipid disturbances, hypertension, and positive family history.
    • The average number of risk factors was higher in patients with significant coronary sclerosis (4.85) compared to those with normal findings (2.55).
    • Heavy smoking combined with vigorous physical activity increased MI risk.
    • No correlation was observed between coronary sclerosis extent/location and left ventricular function or wall motion.

    Conclusions:

    • Young men experiencing MI frequently present with significant coronary artery disease and multiple risk factors.
    • Aggressive management of modifiable risk factors like smoking and hypertension is essential in this population.
    • Further research is needed to explore the specific interplay of lifestyle factors and cardiovascular risk in younger individuals.
