The contemporary management and coronary angioplasty outcomes in young patients with ST-Elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) age < 40 years old: the insight from nationwide Thai PCI registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the major causes of death around the world in which ST elevation MI (STEMI) is in the lead. Although the mortality rate from STEMI seems to decline, this result might not be demonstrated in young adults who basically have different baseline characteristics and outcomes compared with older patients.

Methods

Data of the STEMI patients aged 18 years or older who underwent PCI during May 2018 to August 2019 from Thai PCI Registry, a prospective, multi-center, nationwide study, was included and aimed to investigate the predisposing factors and short-term outcomes of patients aged < 40 years compared with age 41-60, and > 61 years.
