Abstract

Background: CAD is a major cause of death worldwide. Indians are prone as a community to CAD at much younger age. This study examined the coronary angiographic profile characteristic in young (<40 year) patients with ACS compared with that in older patients (>60 year).

Methods: 192 patients with ACS aged less than 40 year and 200 patients with ACS aged more than 60 year were included in this study. Coronary angiographic profile characteristics were evaluated in young ACS patients and compared with that in older patients.

Results: Young ACS patients often had angiographically normal coronary arteries, nonobstructive disease and single vessel disease than older patients (p value<0.05).

Conclusions: Angiographically normal coronary arteries, nonobstructive disease, single vessel disease are more frequent in younger patients.
