ABSTRACT
To determine the prevalence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)in young adults (Men <40 years and women up to 45 years ),and to get a regional baseline data , in comparison with international statistics, and to evaluate major risk factors among young people of this area, case records of one thousand of AMI patients admitted to the hospitals of Rasht were studied retrospectively. 81 patients were aged. Male female ratio in young patients was 2.3 to one while in aged patients of AMI, it was 3.8 to one.
Incidence of smoking habit and hypertension were nearly the same in both age groups; Hypercholesterolemia was significantly higher (16%) among the young people in comparison to 9% in aged patients (P<0.05).
We conclude that 8.1% of all AMI events occur in young age.
In patients up to 39 years, prevalence of AMI was found 5.1% which is comparable to results of similar studies abroad. Detection and treatment of hypercholesterolemia in young adults need special attention
