Ischaemia-reperfusion time differences in ST-elevation myocardial infarction in very young patients: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most prevalent presentations in young patients. It is essential to emphasise that each minute of delay in providing medical care is negatively correlated to the patient's prognosis. The present study was carried out to evaluate the ischaemia-reperfusion times in patients ≤40 years of age versus individuals >40 years of age and their association with mortality and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) over the long term.

Methods

A retrospective, multicentre cohort study was carried out in 6799 patients diagnosed with STEMI. Two groups were established: patients diagnosed with STEMI and aged >40 years, and patients diagnosed with STEMI and aged ≤40 years.

Results

The patients in the young group had a sig
