Abstract

Abstract:Background

Analysis of risk factors, presentation, and in-hospital events of very young patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction

“…In this study, smoking was the most prevalent medical history factor (61%). This proportion is closely in line with recent studies of young AMI patients from the Indian subcontinent [3], [14], confirming the importance of efforts to reduce smoking among the younger population in the Indian subcontinent and Arab Gulf region.…”

“…Coronary artery disease (CAD) is becoming an epidemic in the developing countries of the Arab Gulf region, where it affects younger persons at greater rates [1], [2], [3]. A number of studies have compared risk factors, clinical presentation, and in-hospital outcomes between young and older acute ST-elevatoin myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients [2], [4], [5].…”

“…These studies have often grouped younger and older patients together [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. Younger patients present with a different pattern compared with older patients, resulting in different treatment strategies and outcomes [1], [3], [5]. A few studies have focused specifically on young STEMI patients in the Indian subcontinent, but few have focused on Abu Dhabi and the Middle East.…”

Risk factors, lab parameters, angiographic characteristics and outcomes of coronary artery disease in young South Asian patients: a systematic review

“…The highest rate of TVD reported in Bangladesh was 21.1%. 61 Pandey et al. 22 reported Nepal’s highest prevalence of TVD (only 12.5%).…”
