Standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery disease severity in adults with myocardial infarction ≤ 35.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial infarction (MI) in individuals ≤35 years is poorly characterized. The prevalence of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs) and their associations with CAD severity at the index presentation and with post-index outcomes remain unclear.

Aims

We profiled SMuRFs in MI patients ≤35 years and assessed their association with CAD severity at the index MI and post-index outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective, two-center cohort study included index MI patients aged ≤35 years admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Peking Union Medical College Hospital between December 2011 and December 2021, and followed through February 2024. SMuRFs included hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking. CAD severity was defined by the count of
