Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Young Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

摘要

Background: There are few published studies of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in younger individuals. The differences between these "younger" and "older" individuals may not be fully appreciated by clinicians. The aim of this study was to determine the reasons for the earlier presentation and help to identify strategies for prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) in younger patients.
