Trends in risk factors among young patients with acute myocardial infarction: a nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with significant loss-of-life expectancy, particularly among younger females. Addressing risk factors is crucial for optimizing prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to describe the trends in risk factors and clinical outcomes in a nationwide cohort of young AMI patients stratified by sex.

Methods and results
