ABSTRACT
Although myocardial infarction (MI) primarily affects patients over the age of 45, it can also affect young women and men. Still, when it occurs at an early age, it has severe morbidity and psychological and financial burdens for the patient and his or her relatives. Four classes can be used to categorize the causes of MI in individuals below the age of 45. These are drug abuse-related MI, hyper-coagulable conditions, atheromatous coronary artery disease (CAD), and non-atheromatous CAD. There is a significant overlap between each category. Elevated blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, inactivity, an unbalanced diet, binge drinking alcohol, and related substances are all risk factors. The primary mechanism of an MI is typically the total obstruction of a vessel caused by breaking an atheromatous plaque. This article covers the research and focuses on the practical concerns related to young adults with MI.
