Characteristics and Long-Term Prognosis of Patients ≤35 Years of Age with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and “Normal or Near Normal” Coronary Arteries

Abstract There are scarce data regarding the risk factor profile and prognosis of patients with premature ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and “normal or near normal” coronary arteries (N/NNCAs). We compared the characteristics and long-term prognosis of patients with premature STE...

Description
Summary:Abstract There are scarce data regarding the risk factor profile and prognosis of patients with premature ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and “normal or near normal” coronary arteries (N/NNCAs). We compared the characteristics and long-term prognosis of patients with premature STEMI and N/NNCAs to their counterparts with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). We recruited 330 patients who had STEMI ≤35 years of age and 167 age and sex-matched controls. All patients underwent coronary angiography. Coronary arteries with no lesions or lesions causing
