Pradeep Deshmukh, Deepti Deshmukh

Abstract :

 A retrospective study of 89 consecutive patients of ≤30 years of age with ST elevation myocardial infarction who underwent CAG from Jan 2014 to Jan 2016 was conducted to evaluate the clinical profile, risk factors, modes of presentation, coronary angiographic (CAG) findings and treatment. Majority of patients were male in age group of 26-30 years. Smoking was the commonest risk factor followed by obesity. Chest pain was commonest symptom. Anterior wall MI was the commonest site with Left anterior descending artery (LAD) was the commonest artery involved. Two-third of patients were medically managed while rest one third of patients underwent angioplasty with drug eluting stent (DES). Conclusion: STEMI in young patients appears to be related to smoking and hence as expected more common in male patients with thrombotic occlusion which could be managed without intervention most of the times.
