“…10,11 CAD is much less frequent in premenopausal women due to the effect of estrogen; as the protection from CAD is much less evident after menopause, the disease affects both sexes equally. 12 In a recent study however, researchers have found that young women who are current smoker and obese are more likely to suffer from ACS.…”

Abstract:Aims: To compare the risk factors and pattern of coronary artery involvement in young acute coronary syndrome patients with that of the elderly. Results: Study population was divided into two subgroups, those 18-40 years were considered as young and those >40 years were considered as elderly. Young patients had greater prevalence of smoking, dyslipidemia and positive family history of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), whereas hypertension was more prevalent in the elderly. Younger patients mainly presented with STEMI and predominantly had single vessel disease (SVD), whereas elderly patients frequently presented with NSTEMI and Unstable angina and had higher incidence of double vessel disease (DVD) and triple vessel disease (TVD). MethodsConclusion: Younger patients had a different pattern of risk factors and coronary artery involvement in comparision to the elderly.

Objective: The aim of this study was to find out the common risk factors associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in Northern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).Methodology: One hundred and fifty six patients with ACS were investigated in intensive care unit (ICU), at cardiac center in King Khalid Hospital, in northern KSA, city of Hail.Results: Risk factors for ACS including; Hypertension, Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), Smoking, Diabetes Miletus (DM), and Dyslipidemia were found in 68.6%, 34.6%, 20.5%, 59% and 83.3% of the patients, respectively. Conclusion:The most common risk factors for ACS in northern KSA (Hail region) were dyslipidemia and hypertension. These favored the urgent need for intervention and control, which lower the burden of ACS.
