Abstract :

 BACKGROUND Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. Coronary artery disease has been recognized among younger age group more frequently in recent years.   Acute myocardial infarction below 40 years of age constitutes a specific subset of population having different risk factors and clinical features as compared to older patients. Pattern of coronary artery involvement and clinical outcome also varies suggesting different underlying pathophysiology. Better understanding this specific problem will lead to further improvement in management.   OBJECTIVES: To study the association of different risk factors in young patient with acute MI.   METHODS: 50 patients below the age of 40 years were enrolled in the study over a period of 2 years. Different risk factors were analyzed for the association with MI.    RESULTS: In our study obesity is present in all the patients. Out of 50 patients of study population  Obesity with dyslipidemia was the commonest risk factor (82%) followed by obesity with hypertension (52 %), Obesity , dyslipidemia , hypertension and diabetes mellitus combination  observed in (10%), Obesity , dyslipidemia and Diabetes Mellitus combination observed in (10 %).   CONCLUSIONS: Dyslipidemia is observed in majority of the patients. Combination of Obesity with dyslipidemia is the most common risk factor observed, followed by obesity with hypertension. Obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and Diabetes Mellitus are the major modifiable risk factors in the present study.
