“…In the study of FH Zimmerman et al, a history of smoking is very common, with 73 percent to 90 percent of young patients with myocardial infarction reporting it [16,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. According to the findings, current smoking is linked to myocardial infarction in young people [36].…”

Background: In an acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction, transmural myocardial ischemia causes myocardial damage or necrosis (STEMI). In order to establish myocardial ischemia damage, the current clinical definition of myocardial infarction (MI) in 2018 includes abnormal cardiac biomarkers. STEMI is linked to a greater risk of mortality in the hospital compared to non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. The study's purpose was to investigate and assess the effect of cigarette smoking on the location of infarction in people who had ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Methods: The present case-control research investigated 100 individuals who had a first ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction and got split into two groups based on the smoking status: group 1 (50 patients): Group 1 (50 patients) were smokers, whereas group 2 (50 patients) were nonsmokers. Results: Smokers were significantly younger than non-smokers (53.86±7.77) years vs. (58.20 ± 7.80), P = 0. 006. Gender distribution: Smokers were significantly more likely to be male (82.0% vs. 58.0%, P = 0.009). inferior STEMI was statistically significant difference among the two groups (P value =0.045*). Myocardial Infarction Localization by electrocardiogram was statistically significant different among the two groups (P value =0.045*). Ejection fraction (EF) was statistically significant different among the two groups (smoker and nonsmokers respectively 54.86 ± 8.58% vs. 49.04 ± 6.61%) (P value =0.001*). Conclusions: Smoking raises STEMI risk, and smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop coronary artery disease at an earlier age.

Pericardial effusion and trifascicular block developed 5 years following me-diastinal irradiation for Hodgkin's disease in a 19-year-old patient. Another 24-year-old patient had an acute myocardial infarction followed by severe angina pectoris 5 years following mediastinal irradiation for the same disease. A pericardial window and a permanent demand pacemaker were used in the first case; an aorto-coronary vein grafting was utilized in the second patient. Both patients responded to treatment and are well. Five other previously reported cases of myocardial injury that occurred 2 months to 8 years following medias-tinal irradiation in young patients were reviewed. To our knowledge, successful surgical treatment of this disease entity has not been reported before. Close, long-term follow-up of patients who have received mediastinal irradiation should be helpful in the early recognition and successful management of these serious cardiac complications. The systematic clinical and radiographic surveillance of these patients should be supplemented by a routine 12-lead elec-trocardiogram.

Summary:Twenty-four young patients with myocardial infarction (average age 32.1 years) undergoing coronary arteriography after infarction were followed for an average of 33 months after catheterization. Prior inferior infarction was a predictor of two and three vessel coronary occlusive disease. Prior anterior infarction patients had a 64% incidence of single vessel coronary occlusive disease. Improvement in anginal symptoms over the follow-up period from the time of catheterization for the entire group was 69%. Employment at follow-up was excellent in both medically and surgically treated patients (80%). Cardiac mortality from the time of catheterization was extremely low (4%).
