AB  - Twenty-four male patients aged 18-30 (mean = 27.4) years were catheterized either
      after myocardial infarction (22 patients) or because of angina pectoris (2
      patients). In this highly-selected group, 18 of 24 smoked but only 5 had elevated
      cholesterol levels. Of 14 patients with anterior myocardial infarction (AMI), 7
      had a significant left anterior descending obstruction while the other 7 had
      nonsignificant or no coronary stenosis. In 8 patients with inferior MI (IMI), 4
      had significant multivessel disease. Five of 6 patients with multivessel disease 
      smoked while 4 had hypercholesterolemia. Risk factors were absent in 3 of 16
      patients with single or no coronary lesions. We conclude that angina pectoris and
      inferior MI carry high risk of multivessel coronary disease; there is often one
      or more risk factor in this subgroup. Finally, routine catheterization in young
      patients with AMI is not warranted.
