TI  - Young Hearts go Ischemic too.
PG  - 58-61
AB  - INTRODUCTION: Young presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been poorly 
      described in literature. We hereby evaluate patients younger than 30 years. 
      MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this prospective study we enrolled 1377 patients who 
      underwent coronary angiography for symptoms concerning for acute coronary 
      syndrome over a period of one year. RESULTS: Male predominance (100%) was seen 
      among the young patients (less than 30 years) with most common presentation being 
      chest pain. Incidence of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was 
      significantly higher (75%) than non-ST elevation myocardial infarction/ unstable 
      angina (NSTEMI/UA). Most common associated risk factor was current smoking 
      (41.6%). As compared to elderly, young patients were seen to have better outcome 
      with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and thrombolysis. CONCLUSIONS: 
      Very young <30 years suffer from ischemia too and may differ in presentation, 
      risk factors and outcome as compared to old. Primary prevention of avoidable risk 
      factors should be aggressively promoted among young.
