Abstract

Researchers have conducted an evaluation and have reached the conclusion that AMI has considerable potential to impact a normal lifestyle, particularly among young adults. Therefore, our study was conducted to evaluate the risk factors and clinical characteristics associated with young patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The study conducted was a cross-sectional study, spanning a total duration of one year. Patients between the ages of 15 and 40 who presented with a clinical history of ischemic chest pain and exhibited characteristic electrocardiogram changes were eligible for inclusion in the study. The prevalence of smoking as a risk factor was found to be the highest at 85%, followed by dyslipidemia at 80%. Diabetes was reported as a risk factor in 10% of cases, while hypertension was identified in 5% of cases. Additionally, a positive family history of myocardial infarction was present in 15% of cases. Hence, it is imperative to establish Regional Systems of STEMI and PCI care to ensure efficient management of cases. Additionally, the implementation of educational programs focused on smoking cessation practices and the establishment of clinics dedicated to this purpose are necessary.
