[PMID: 38421612 DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwae088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
AIMS As lifetime accumulation of cardiovascular risk factors is gaining importance, early identification and management of risk factors are being emphasized. The global prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS), a constellation of these risk factors, is increasing, particularly among young adults. In this study, we aim to investigate the association between cumulative exposure to metabolic risk and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS In this nationwide population-based cohort, we analysed 3 688 787 young adults (<40 years) with 2 biennial National Health Screening examinations from 2009 to 2012. Participants were categorized into MetS-free, MetS-developed, MetS-recovered, or MetS-persistent group, based on MetS presence at each examination. The endpoint was new CVD development, including myocardial infarction (MI) and ischaemic stroke. During follow-up (median, 7.7 years), CVD occurred in 19 219 individuals (0.5%). The incidence rates of CVD were 0.58, 1.17, 1.20, and 1.83 (1000 person-years) in the MetS-free, MetS-developed, MetS-recovered, and MetS-persistent groups, respectively. The CVD risk was proportionally associated with cumulative metabolic risk exposure, with a maximum two-fold increase in the MetS-persistent group [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84-2.04], followed by the MetS-recovered and the MetS-developed groups with similar risks. Among the MetS components, persistent exposure to elevated blood pressure (BP) had the greatest association with CVD risk (aHR 1.69, 95% CI 1.63-1.76). This tendency was consistent in the separate analyses of the risk of MI and ischaemic stroke. CONCLUSION The risk of CVD increased in an exposure-dependent manner among young adults. Efforts to optimize the cardiometabolic profile, particularly BP, even after the establishment of MetS, might help promote long-term cardiovascular prognosis.

A risk score for predicting in-stent restenosis in patients with premature acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent. Heliyon 2024; 10:e34077. [PMID: 39055837 PMCID: PMC11269898 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed at developing and validating a risk score to predict in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES). Methods This was a two-center retrospective study. A total of 2185 patients firstly diagnosed with premature AMI (age ≥18 years and <55 years in men, <65 years in women) from Xinjiang cohort were retrospectively analyzed. After filtering by exclusion criteria, patients were randomly divided into training cohort (n = 434) and internal validation cohort (n = 186) at a 7:3 ratio. Several candidate variables associated with ISR in the training cohort were assessed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and logistic regression analysis. The ISR risk nomogram score based on the superior predictors was finally developed, and then validated in the internal validation cohort and in an independent Chengdu external validation cohort (n = 192). The higher total nomogram score, the greater the ISR risk. Results The eight variables in the final risk nomogram score, cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) score included age, diabetes mellitus (DM), body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), stent in left anterior descending coronary artery, minimum stent diameter <3 mm. The areas under the curve (AUC) and C-statistics [training cohort: 0.834 (95%CI: 0.787 to 0.882); internal validation cohort: 0.852 (95%CI: 0.784 to 0.921); Chengdu external validation cohort: 0.787 (95%CI: 0.692 to 0.882), respectively)] demonstrated the good discrimination of the CKM score. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test (χ2 = 7.86, P = 0.448; χ2 = 5.17, P = 0.740; χ2 = 6.35, P = 0.608, respectively) and the calibration curve confirmed the good calibration of the CKM score. Decision curve analysis (DCA) testified the clinical net benefit of the CKM score in the training and validation cohort. Conclusion This study provided a well-developed and validated risk nomogram score, the CKM score to predict ISR in patients with premature AMI undergoing PCI with DES. Given that these variables are readily available and practical, the CKM score should be widely adopted for individualized assessment and management of premature AMI.

Abstract
Many studies have investigated the coronary risk factors (CRFs) among premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) patients. However, reports on the proportion and CRFs of PCAD according to different age cut-offs for PCAD is globally under-reported. This study aimed to determine the proportion of PCAD patients and analyse the significant CRFs according to different age cut-offs among percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated patients. Patients who underwent PCI between 2007 and 2018 in two cardiology centres were included (n = 29,241) and were grouped into four age cut-off groups that defines PCAD: (A) Males/females: < 45, (B) Males: < 50; Females: < 55, (C) Males: < 55; Females: < 60 and (D) Males: < 55; Females: < 65 years old. The average proportion of PCAD was 28%; 9.2% for group (A), 21.5% for group (B), 38.6% and 41.9% for group (C) and (D), respectively. The top three CRFs of PCAD were LDL-c level, TC level and hypertension (HTN). Malay ethnicity, smoking, obesity, family history of PCAD, TC level and history of MI were the independent predictors of PCAD across all age groups. The proportion of PCAD in Malaysia is higher compared to other studies. The most significant risk factors of PCAD are LDL-c, TC levels and HTN. Early prevention, detection and management of the modifiable risk factors are highly warranted to prevent PCAD.

Emergency Department Referral of Patients With Chest Pain for Noninvasive Cardiac Testing and 2-Year Clinical Outcomes. Circ Cardiovasc Qual Outcomes 2024; 17:e010457. [PMID: 38779848 DOI: 10.1161/circoutcomes.123.010457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive cardiac testing (NICT) has been associated with decreased long-term risks of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) among emergency department patients at high coronary risk. It is unclear whether this association extends to patients without evidence of myocardial injury on initial ECG and cardiac troponin testing. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted of patients presenting with chest pain between 2013 and 2019 to 21 emergency departments within an integrated health care system in Northern California, excluding patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction or myocardial injury by serum troponin testing. To account for confounding by indication, we grouped patient encounters by the NICT referral rate of the initially assigned emergency physician relative to local peers within discrete time periods. The primary outcome was MACE within 2 years. Secondary outcomes were coronary revascularization and MACE, inclusive of all-cause mortality. Associations between the NICT referral group (low, intermediate, or high) and outcomes were assessed using risk-adjusted proportional hazards methods with censoring for competing events. RESULTS Among 144 577 eligible patient encounters, the median age was 58 years (interquartile range, 48-68) and 57% were female. Thirty-day NICT referral was 13.0%, 19.9%, and 27.8% in low, intermediate, and high NICT referral groups, respectively, with a good balance of baseline covariates between groups. Compared with the low NICT referral group, there was no significant decrease in the adjusted hazard ratio of MACE within the intermediate (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.02-1.14]) or high (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.05 [95% CI, 0.99-1.11]) NICT referral groups. Results were similar for MACE, inclusive of all-cause mortality, and coronary revascularization, as well as subgroup analyses stratified by estimated risk (history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, troponin [HEART] score: percent classified as low risk, 48.2%; moderate risk, 49.2%; and high risk, 2.7%). CONCLUSIONS Increases in NICT referrals were not associated with changes in the hazard of MACE within 2 years following emergency department visits for chest pain without evidence of acute myocardial injury. These findings further highlight the need for evidence-based guidance regarding the appropriate use of NICT in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) is typically associated with increased age, but there is an important group of patients who suffer from STEMI under the age of 50 who are not well characterized in studies. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed results from Myocardial Ischemia National Audit Project (MINAP) from the United Kingdom (UK) between 2010 and 2017 and the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the United States of America (USA) between 2010 and 2018. After exclusion criteria, there were 32 719 STEMI patients aged ≤50 from MINAP, and 238 952 patients' ≤50 from the NIS. We analysed temporal trends in demographics, management, and mortality. The proportion of females increased, 15.6% (2010-2012) to 17.6% (2016-2017) (UK) and 22.8% (2010-2012) to 23.1% (2016-2018) (USA). The proportion of white patients decreased, from 86.7% (2010) to 79.1% (2017) (UK) and 72.1% (2010) to 67.1% (2017) (USA). Invasive coronary angiography (ICA) rates increased in UK (2010-2012: 89.0%, 2016-2017: 94.3%), while decreased in USA (2010-2012: 88.9%, 2016-2018: 86.2% (USA). After adjusting for baseline characteristics and management strategies, there was no difference in all-cause mortality in the UK in 2016-2017 compared to 2010-2012 (OR:1.21, 95% CI:0.60-2.40), but there was a decrease in the USA in 2016-2018 compared to 2010-2012 (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.79-0.90). CONCLUSION The demographics of young STEMI patients have temporally changed in the UK and USA, with increased proportions of females and ethnic minorities. There was a significant increase in the frequency of diabetes mellitus over the respective time periods in both countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of young acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is increasing. Return-to-work is an important indicator for patients' psycho-social recovery. However, factors influencing return-to-work after AMI are yet to be determined. OBJECTIVE To summary available evidence on rate and factors associated with return-to-work among AMI patients. METHODS The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopes and two Chinese databases (CNKI and VIP) were searched from inception to October 3, 2023. Pooled rate of return-to-work (%) and odds ratio (OR) were calculated with Stata 17 software. RESULTS Of 2403 records screened, 19 studies were included. Pooled rate of return-to-work at 3, 6, 12, and 24 and above months after AMI was 74%, 87%, 87%, 80% respectively. Factors associated with lower rate of return-to-work were comorbidity of diabetes (OR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46-0.93), history of heart failure (OR = 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23-0.80), manual labor (OR = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.35-0.76) and depression (OR = 0.59; 95% CI, 0.37-0.93). Male (OR = 1.42; 95% CI, 1.09-1.85) and higher education level (OR = 1.45; 95% CI, 1.25-1.69) were protective factors. Age, marital status and smoking were not significantly associated with return-to-work. CONCLUSIONS More than half of patients could return to work at 3-month post-AMI, return-to-work rate was increased during one-year post-AMI followed by a decrease. Comorbidity of diabetes, history of heart failure, manual labor and depression were negative predictors of return-to-work, while male and higher education level were protective factors. This would assist the professionals to identify the patient who was risk for unable to return-to-work and provide support for AMI patents.

Abstract
The increasing incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among the young population represents a significant and emerging health concern, contributing substantially to both mortality and morbidity. Unlike myocardial infarctions occurring in older individuals, traditional risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension exhibit a weaker association in the younger demographic. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a deeper understanding of novel risk factors that contribute to AMI in young patients. In this review, we explore distinct risk factor profiles associated with young-onset AMI in comparison to older patients. Special attention is given to novel risk factors, examining their susceptibility factors and exploring preventive measures. The comprehensive risk profile of extremely young South Asians who develop early coronary arterial disease is not yet fully understood. There are many novel evolving risk factors associated with young AMI which need intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality. It has been seen that established inflammatory markers like lipoprotein (a), dyslipidaemia, long COVID, and new emerging risk factors like air pollution (micro- and nanoplastics), periodontitis, acute stress, energy drinks, misuse of recreational drugs may increase risk and influence treatment, and outcomes of AMI in this young population. Screening of emerging novel risk markers and their optimization is important in preventing young patients with AMI. The role of conventional risk factors should not be overlooked and should be treated aggressively. Sex and geographic-specific base approaches are required to reduce risk factors and prevent AMI in young. More prospective studies are needed to evaluate the increasing incidence of young AMI and its associated novel risk factors.

Abstract
Background Recent lifestyle changes have increased the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Korea. Young men are known to have a low awareness of dyslipidemia and a lack of motivation to maintain their weight. However, the association between weight change and dyslipidemia in young adults has not been thoroughly examined. Methods Data from the Armed Forces Medical Command Defense Medical Information System database were used. In this study, 15,068 soldiers who underwent private and corporal health examinations between May 2020 and April 2022 were included. The difference in weights between the two different health examinations was used to quantify weight change. Four components of the lipid profile were used to assess dyslipidemia during the corporal health examination. Results After adjusting for relevant covariates, weight gain was associated with increased risk of dyslipidemia (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.38 [95% confidence interval, CI, 1.15 to 1.64] for the 5% to 10% weight gain group; and OR, 2.02 [95% CI, 1.59 to 2.55] for the ≥10% weight gain group), whereas weight loss was associated with decreased risk (adjusted OR, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.68 to 0.98] for the 5% to 10% weight loss group; and OR, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.27 to 0.53] for the ≥10% weight loss group). In subgroup analysis based on the participants' baseline body mass index, smoking status, regular exercise habits, and hypertension status, there were no significant differences between the subgroups. Conclusion Weight change was associated with dyslipidemia in Korean male soldiers. The findings suggest that limiting weight gain in young adults by encouraging a healthy lifestyle may help prevent dyslipidemia.

Abstract
The incidence of premature myocardial infarction (PMI) has been rising and acute kidney injury (AKI) occurring in PMI patients severely impacts prognosis. This study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for AKI specific to PMI patients. The MIMIC-Ⅲ-CV and MIMIC-Ⅳ databases were utilized for model derivation of PMI patients. Single-center data served for external validation. There were 571 and 182 AKI patients in the training set (n = 937) and external validation set (n = 292) cohorts, respectively. Finally, a 7-variable model consisting of: Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), ICU stay time, loop diuretics, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) HCO3- and Albumin was developed, achieving an AUC of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.83-0.88) in the training set. External validation also confirmed model robustness. This model may assist clinicians in the early identification of patients at elevated risk for PMI. Further validation is warranted before clinical application.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated age-specific sex differences in short- and long-term clinical outcomes following hospitalization for a first-time acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in New Zealand (NZ). METHODS AND RESULTS Using linked national health datasets, people admitted to hospital for a first-time ACS between January 2010 and December 2016 were included. Analyses were stratified by sex and 10-year age groups. Logistic and Cox regression were used to assess in-hospital death and from discharge the primary outcome of time to first cardiovascular (CV) readmission or death and other secondary outcomes at 30 days and 2 years. Among 63 245 people (mean age 69 years, 40% women), women were older than men at the time of the ACS admission (mean age 73 vs. 66 years), with a higher comorbidity burden. Overall compared with men, women experienced higher rates of unadjusted in-hospital death (10% vs. 7%), 30-day (16% vs. 12%) and 2-year (44% vs. 34%) death, or CV readmission (all P < 0.001). Age group-specific analyses showed sex differences in outcomes varied with age, with younger women (<65 years) at higher risk than men and older women (≥85 years) at lower risk than men: unadjusted hazard ratio of 2-year death or CV readmission for women aged 18-44 years = 1.51 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.21-1.84] and aged ≥85 years = 0.88 (95% CI 0.83-0.93). The increased risk for younger women was no longer significant after multivariable adjustment whereas the increased risk for older men remained. CONCLUSION Men and women admitted with first-time ACS have differing age and comorbidity profiles, resulting in contrasting age-specific sex differences in the risk of adverse outcomes between the youngest and oldest age groups.

Abstract
The prevalence of Heart failure (HF) is increasing with the aging of the population but it is estimated that 10% of HF patients are younger than 50 years-old. HF development in this population is characterized with a fast-growing prevalence, and important disparities according to underlying etiologies or gender. These observations highlight the need to identify specific and preventable factors in these patients, a topic that is under-studied. Here we provide an overview of trends in prevalence of major etiologies leading to HF in young subjects, including genetic factors associated with cardiomyopathies, premature vascular dysfunction and related ischemia, metabolic stress, cardio-toxic responses to different agents, and myocarditis. We also highlight the increasing influence of major risk factors that are driving HF in younger patients, such as obesity, diabetes or arterial hypertension.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to examine the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of patients aged ≤45 years with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods From January 2018 to March 2020, this retrospective observational study took place at a tertiary cardiac center in Bahrain. We included patients aged ≤45 years who were admitted with STEMI and had primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Results In this study, 510 patients with STEMI receiving pPCI were included, of whom 95 (18%) were younger than 45 years. The young age group had more smokers (57.9% vs. 40.5%, p = 0.003), newly diagnosed dyslipidemia (41.1% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.004), and a positive family history of early coronary artery disease (CAD) (14.7% vs. 4.3%, p = <0.001). Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus, systemic hypertension, and dyslipidemia, were significantly less common in young patients. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were also significantly less common in young patients at the one-year follow-up (2.1 vs. 8.4%, p = 0.05). Conclusion Young patients with STEMI are more often smokers with undiagnosed dyslipidemia and have a family history of CAD. MACCE at one year is significantly lower as compared to older patients, but it is not negligible. Public health efforts are needed to reduce the prevalence of modifiable risk factors among the susceptible population.

Abstract
PURPOSE The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been shown to be related to cardiovascular disease risk, but evidence on the longitudinal pattern of AIP during follow-up is limited. We aimed to explore the associations of baseline and long-term AIP with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS We included 98,861 participants in the Kailuan Study who were free of MI at baseline. AIP was calculated as log (triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Long-term AIP included the long-term mean AIP (mean AIP from baseline to the first occurrence of MI or the end of follow-up) and number of visits with high AIP (above the cutoff value at the first three visits). The baseline and updated mean AIP were in operationalized as quartiles. Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the associations between AIP and risk of MI. We excluding all deaths during the follow-up visits in the sensitivity analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 12.80 years, 1804 participants developed MI. Compared with quartile 1, the adjusted hazard ratios in baseline and updated mean AIP quartile 4 were 1.63 (95% CI, 1.41-1.88) and 1.59 (95% CI, 1.37-1.83), respectively. Compared with participants who did not have a high AIP, the HR among individuals with AIP elevated by three times was 1.94 (95% CI,1.55-2.45). The sensitivity analysis showed similar associations. CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of both baseline and long-term AIP increased the risk of MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic health conditions are highly prevalent among truck drivers due to many unique occupational and environmental stressors. Health promotion programs are shown to be effective in improving truck driver health outcomes; however, there is no research on whether such programs can increase the length of a driver's Department of Transportation (DOT) medical certificate. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate Fit to Pass (FTP), a remotely accessible health promotion program available for truck drivers on improved health outcomes and increased DOT medical certificate length. METHOD Program evaluation included an evaluation of the FTP coaching guide against evidence-based practice guidelines. An analysis of a limited dataset of 22 truck driver records examined the effectiveness of the program in achieving improved health outcomes and increased medical certification length. FINDINGS A review of the literature revealed three major themes: (a) motivational interviewing to increase driver intention and self-efficacy; (b) mobile health care technology to connect hard-to-reach truck drivers; and (c) effectiveness of structured multicomponent health promotion programs. After participation in FTP, truck drivers experienced a mean decrease in weight and body mass index (BMI) of 4.6 lbs and 1.3 kg/m2, respectively. The lengths of initial DOT medical certificates were compared with DOT medical certificates received at the time of recertification (post-FTP). Only eight participants had the potential for improvement in certificate length. Of those, three truck drivers achieved an increased DOT medical certificate length at the time of recertification. CONCLUSION/APPLICATIONS TO PRACTICE FTP offers tailored and comprehensive health coaching for truck drivers using current evidence-based practice guidelines to educate and reinforce healthy lifestyle habits. Analysis of a limited dataset revealed a mean decrease in BMI and a trend of increased DOT medical certification lengths after participation in FTP; however, further research with larger sample sizes is recommended.

Abstract
Assessment of the influence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) on cardiovascular event (CVE) using machine learning algorithms offers some advantages over preexisting scoring systems, and better enables personalized medicine approaches to cardiovascular prevention. Using data from four different sources, we evaluated the outcomes of three machine learning algorithms for CVE prediction using different combinations of predictive variables and analysed the influence of different CVRF-related variables on CVE prediction when included in these algorithms. A cohort study based on a male cohort of workers applying populational data was conducted. The population of the study consisted of 3746 males. For descriptive analyses, mean and standard deviation were used for quantitative variables, and percentages for categorical ones. Machine learning algorithms used were XGBoost, Random Forest and Naïve Bayes (NB). They were applied to two groups of variables: i) age, physical status, Hypercholesterolemia (HC), Hypertension, and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and ii) these variables plus treatment exposure, based on the adherence to the treatment for DM, hypertension and HC. All methods point out to the age as the most influential variable in the incidence of a CVE. When considering treatment exposure, it was more influential than any other CVRF, which changed its influence depending on the model and algorithm applied. According to the performance of the algorithms, the most accurate was Random Forest when treatment exposure was considered (F1 score 0.84), followed by XGBoost. Adherence to treatment showed to be an important variable in the risk of having a CVE. These algorithms could be applied to create models for every population, and they can be used in primary care to manage interventions personalized for every subject.

Temporal analysis of non-ST segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) outcomes in 'young' patients under the age of fifty: A nationwide cohort study. Int J Cardiol 2023; 391:131294. [PMID: 37625485 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2023.131294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The characteristics and risk factor profile of young patients presenting with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) and how they may have changed over time is not well reported. METHODS We identified 26,708 NSTEACS patients aged under 50 presenting to United Kingdom (UK) hospitals between 2010 and 2017 from Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP). We calculated incidence of NSTEACS per 100,000 UK population, using Office of National Statistics (ONS) population estimates, prevalence of comorbidities, ethnicity, and in-hospital mortality. We formed biennial groups to enable comparison, 2010-2011, 2012-2013, 2014-2015 and 2016-2017. RESULTS The incidence of NSTEACS per 100,000 population showed minimal change between 2010 and 2017 (2010: 5.4 per 100,000 and 2017; 4.9 per 100,000). Rates of smoking (2010-11; 58% and 2016-17; 53%), and family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) (2010-11; 51% and 2016-17; 44%) fell, but the proportion of patients from an ethnic minority background (2010-11; 12% and 2016-17; 20%), with diabetes mellitus (DM) (2010-11; 14%, and 2016-17; 18%) and female patients (2010-11; 22% and 2016-17; 24%) increased over the study period. Mortality from NSTEACS remained unchanged (2010-11; 1% and 2016-17; 1%). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of NSTEACS in patients aged under fifty has not reduced despite reduction in prevalence of risk factors such as smoking hypercholesterolaemia in those admitted to UK hospitals. Despite improved rates of early invasive coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in 'young' NSTEACS patients, in-hospital mortality remains unchanged.

Clinical profile and prognosis of young patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction managed by the emergency-intervention Codi IAM network. REVISTA ESPANOLA DE CARDIOLOGIA (ENGLISH ED.) 2023; 76:881-890.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Data on the clinical profile and outcomes of younger patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is scarce. This study compared clinical characteristics and outcomes between patients aged<45 years and those aged ≥ 45 years with STEMI managed by the acute myocardial infarction code (AMI Code) network. Sex-based differences in the younger cohort were also analyzed. METHODS This multicenter study collected individual data from the Catalonian AMI Code network. Between 2015 and 2020, we enrolled patients with an admission diagnosis of STEMI. Primary endpoints were all-cause mortality within 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years. RESULTS Overall, 18 933 patients (23% female) were enrolled. Of them, 1403 participants (7.4%) were aged<45 years. Younger patients with STEMI were more frequently smokers (P<.001) and presented with cardiac arrest and TIMI flow 0 before pPCI (P<.05), but the time from first medical contact to wire crossing was shorter than in the older group (P<.05). All-cause mortality rates were lower in patients aged<45 years (P<.001). Among younger patients, cardiogenic shock was most prevalent in women than in their male counterparts (P=.002), with the time from symptom onset to reperfusion being longer (P<.05). Compared with men aged<45 years, younger women were less likely to undergo pPCI (P=.004). CONCLUSIONS Despite showing high-risk features on admission, young patients exhibit better outcomes than older patients. Differences in ischemia times and treatment were observed between men and women.

Abstract
Purpose The incidence of prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM) is increasing among young individuals. Whether pre-DM can predict adverse cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-DM on the long-term clinical outcomes of patients aged≤ 45 years with new-onset ACS. Patients and methods A total of 1113 patients with new-onset ACS (aged≤ 45 years) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into three groups according to their glycemic status or history: normal glucose metabolism (NGM), prediabetes (pre-DM), and diabetes mellitus (DM). The primary endpoint was defined as a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, or unplanned repeat revascularization. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to explore the association between abnormal glycemic status and MACE. Results The prevalence of NGM, pre-DM, and DM were 45.9% (n=511), 27.0% (n=301), and 27.0% (n=301), respectively. During a median follow-up of 65 months, MACE occurred in 23.5% (n=120) of NGM, 29.2% (n=88) of pre-DM, and 34.6% (n=104) of DM (P=0.003). After multivariate adjustment, both pre-DM and DM significantly increased the risk of MACE compared with the NGM group (pre-DM: HR1.38, CI95% 1.05-1.83, P=0.023; DM: HR1.65, CI95% 1.27-2.16, P<0.001). Moreover, pre-DM had a similar impact on MACE as DM in young patients with ACS (P=0.162). Conclusion Pre-DM was common among patients aged≤ 45 years with new-onset ACS. Pre-DM was associated with an increased risk of future MACE compared to NGM.

Twenty-year trends in the prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in young acute coronary syndrome patients hospitalized in Switzerland. Eur J Prev Cardiol 2023; 30:1504-1512. [PMID: 36929213 DOI: 10.1093/eurjpc/zwad077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) play a key role in the development of coronary artery disease. We evaluated 20-year trends in RF prevalence among young adults hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in Switzerland. METHODS AND RESULTS Data were analysed from the Acute Myocardial Infarction in Switzerland (AMIS) Plus registry from 2000 to 2019. Young patients were defined as those aged <50 years. Among 58 028 ACS admissions, 7073 (14.1%) were young (median 45.6 years, IQR 42.0-48.0), of which 91.6% had at least one modifiable RF and 59.0% had at least two RFs. Smoking was the most prevalent RF (71.4%), followed by dyslipidaemia (57.3%), hypertension (35.9%), obesity (21.7%), and diabetes (10.1%). Compared with older patients, young patients were more likely to be obese (21.7% vs. 17.4%, P < 0.001) and active smokers (71.4% vs. 33.9%, P < 0.001). Among young patients, between 2000 and 2019, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of hypertension from 29.0% to 51.3% and obesity from 21.2% to 27.1% (both Ptrend < 0.001) but a significant decrease in active smoking from 72.5% to 62.5% (Ptrend = 0.02). There were no significant changes in the prevalence of diabetes (Ptrend = 0.32) or dyslipidaemia (Ptrend = 0.067). CONCLUSION Young ACS patients in Switzerland exhibit a high prevalence of RFs and are more likely than older patients to be obese and smokers. Between 2000 and 2019, RF prevalence either increased or remained stable, except for smoking which decreased but still affected approximately two-thirds of young patients in 2019. Public health initiatives targeting RFs in young adults in Switzerland are warranted.

Abstract
The objective of this scientific statement is to evaluate contemporary evidence that either supports or refutes the conclusion that aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering or lipid lowering exerts toxic effects on the brain, leading to cognitive impairment or dementia or hemorrhagic stroke. The writing group used literature reviews, references to published clinical and epidemiology studies, clinical and public health guidelines, authoritative statements, and expert opinion to summarize existing evidence and to identify gaps in current knowledge. Although some retrospective, case control, and prospective longitudinal studies suggest that statins and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering are associated with cognitive impairment or dementia, the preponderance of observational studies and data from randomized trials do not support this conclusion. The risk of a hemorrhagic stroke associated with statin therapy in patients without a history of cerebrovascular disease is nonsignificant, and achieving very low levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol does not increase that risk. Data reflecting the risk of hemorrhagic stroke with lipid-lowering treatment among patients with a history of hemorrhagic stroke are not robust and require additional focused study.

Abstract
Statin use among younger adults at high atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk compared with older adults at the same risk is unclear. We determined prevalent statin use by 10-year ASCVD risk and age among US participants aged 40-75 eligible for risk-indicated primary prevention statins from the 2013-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles. Among 3,503 participants, statin use by ASCVD risk (5-<7.5%, 7.5-<20%, and ≥20%) was 9.4%, 9.0%, and 12.2% among those age 40-54 compared to 22.0%, 23.9%, and 14.3% among adults 55-64 years and 39.3%, 33.6%, and 38.1% age 65-75 years. After adjusting for sociodemographic and healthcare access, the prevalence ratio (vs. 65-75 years) for statin use among adults with an ASCVD risk of 7.5-<20% age 40-54 years was 0.40 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.39,0.41) and 0.87 (95% CI 0.87,0.88) for adults 55-64 years. Among high ASCVD-risk adults aged 40-75 years, primary prevention statin use was lower among adults <65 years despite similar ASCVD risk as older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of global mortality and disability. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young individuals is a rare condition but can cause devastating socioeconomic and psychological consequences for both the patient and their family and an economic burden for the government. There is a paucity of data concerning the specific profile of these young patients in Bulgaria, a country with a high burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the baseline characteristics, demographic and risk factor profile, clinical features, angiographic findings and in-hospital outcomes of young patients with AMI. Additionally, these data were compared to those of the older age group. METHODS Retrospective data on 172 patients treated for AMI in "Prof. Alexandar Tschirkov", Bulgaria, from January 2018 to December 2021 were collected for the purpose of this study. Baseline characteristics, risk factor profile and clinical and angiographic features were compared in young (≤45 years) and older patients (>45 years). RESULTS Males were significantly predominant in the two age groups (p < 0.01), with an obviously increasing proportion of females in the older age group. Young patients were more likely to be smokers (55.7% vs. 28.8%; p=0.001); in contrast, hypertension (70.5% vs. 91.9%; p <0.001) and obesity (16.4% vs. 31.5%; p=0.031) were more prevalent in older patients. Anterior localization of myocardial infarction (MI) was most common in the two age groups (47.5% vs. 41.4%), respectively. Regarding the time delay from symptom onset to first medical contact, we found that young patients tended to present earlier than their older counterparts. Young patients had a higher incidence of single vessel disease (SVD) (49.2%) and nonobstructive coronary disease (NOCD) (11.5%) than older patients. Young patients with AMI had a lower in-hospital morbidity rate than older patients, but the in-hospital mortality, although lower, was not significantly different. A high prevalence of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (RFs), such as smoking, dyslipidemia and arterial hypertension (AH), among the young group, less evolved CAD and similar high procedural success between age groups were established. Approximately 30% of young patients tend to present late in the hospital. The in-hospital mortality in the young population was lower than that in the older population but was still relatively higher than that previously reported. CONCLUSION The reported high prevalence of modifiable RFs and late presentation of young patients with AMI highlight the need for early recognition of these RFs, better prevention, deployment of educational programs, easy access to health care and high awareness of clinicians to reduce disability and mortality from CVD.

Abstract
Background The impact of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) on the life span of residents in a transitioning region has not been studied in depth. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the changes in AMI-related resident deaths in a transitioning region in China. Methods A longitudinal, population-based study was performed to analyze the deaths with/of AMI in Pudong New Area (PNA), Shanghai from 2005 to 2021. The average annual percentage change (AAPC) of AMI in crude mortality rates (CMR), age-standardized mortality rates worldwide (ASMRW), and rates of years of life lost (YLLr) were calculated by the joinpoint regression. The impact of demographic and non-demographic factors on the mortality of residents who died with/of AMI was quantitatively analyzed by the decomposition method. Results In 7,353 residents who died with AMI, 91.74% (6,746) of them were died of AMI from 2005 to 2021. In this period, the CMR and ASMRW of residents died with/of AMI were 15.23/105 and 5.17/105 person-years, the AAPC of CMR was 0.01% (95% CI: -0.71,0.72, p = 0.989) and 0.06% (95% CI: -0.71,0.84, p = 0.868), and the ASMRW decreased by 2.83% (95% CI: -3.66,-2.00, p < 0.001) and 2.76% (95% CI: -3.56,-1.95, p < 0.001), respectively. The CMR of people died of AMI showed a downward trend (all p < 0.05) in people ≥60 years but an upward trend [AAPC = 2.47% (95% CI: 0.07,4.94, p = 0.045)] in people of 45-59 years. The change in CMR of people died with/of AMI caused by demographic factors was 28.70% (95% CI: 12.99,46.60, p = 0.001) and 28.07% (95% CI: 12.71,45.52, p = 0.001) per year, respectively. Conclusion Preventative strategies for AMI should be applied to enhance the health management of residents aged 45-59 years or with comorbidities in the transitioning region.

Abstract
Due to major advancements in myocardial infarction (MI) prevention and effective medical treatment, the death rate and incidence of MI have dropped considerably. We know that their risk factors and prognosis may differ; therefore, increasing primary and secondary prevention activities among young people is crucial. Multiple studies have found that MI is the deadliest form of coronary heart disease (CHD). As a result, we made an effort to illuminate MI in young people in our review of the literature. We found that young people, particularly women, are developing MI. Smoking is a key risk factor that should be targeted in an effort to minimize youth MI rates. It is thus important to create superior methods for measuring risk in young people, which may combine both standard and nonconventional risk factors, such as genetic rate scores and coronary artery calcium testing. Henceforth, addressing modifiable risk factors at a younger age has the greatest impact.

A Systematic Review on the Risk Modulators of Myocardial Infarction in the "Young"-Implications of Lipoprotein (a). Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24065927. [PMID: 36983001 PMCID: PMC10051886 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24065927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The presence of a myocardial infarction at a younger age is of special interest, considering the psychological and socioeconomic impact, as well as long-term morbidity and mortality. However, this group has a unique risk profile, with less traditional cardiovascular risk factors that are not well studied. This systematic review aims to evaluate traditional risk factors of myocardial infarction in the "young", highlighting the clinical implications of lipoprotein (a). We performed a comprehensive search using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) standards; we systematically searched the PubMed, EMBASE, and Science Direct Scopus databases, using the terms: "myocardial infarction", "young", "lipoprotein (a)", "low-density lipoprotein", "risk factors". The search identified 334 articles which were screened, and, at the end, 9 original research articles regarding the implications of lipoprotein (a) in myocardial infarction in the "young" were included in the qualitative synthesis. Elevated lipoprotein (a) levels were independently associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, especially in young patients, where this risk increased by threefold. Thus, it is recommended to measure the lipoprotein (a) levels in individuals with suspected familial hypercholesterolaemia or with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and no other identifiable risk factors, in order to identify patients who might benefit from a more intensive therapeutic approach and follow-up.

Am J Prev Cardiol 2023; 13:100452. [PMID: 36636126 PMCID: PMC9830108 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajpc.2022.100452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study assessed cardiovascular health (CVH) in young adults using the 2022 AHA Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and compared it with the Life's Simple 7 (LS7) score. Methods Individuals aged 18 to 44 years without a history of cardiovascular disease in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles were included. Data from 2007-2008 to 2017-2018 were combined to create 3 groups (2007-2010, 2011-2014, and 2015-2018) for analysis. The LE8 score and its components were computed in the overall population and stratified by sex and race/ethnicity. Trends for the LE8 score were analyzed using adjusted linear regression models. Results Among 12,197 young adults, representing an estimated 89.4 million individuals, from the NHANES 2007-2018, the CVH in the overall population and across all subgroups was stable (Ptrend >0.05). The blood lipid score improved across all subgroups (Ptrend:<0.05). The mean LE8 score was 69.2±0.3. Females (71.4±0.4) had better CVH compared with males (67.2±0.4). Non-Hispanic Black individuals (65.1± 0.3) had the lowest CVH compared with Non-Hispanic White individuals (69.9±0.5), Mexican American individuals (67.3±0.3), and other race individuals (71.2±0.4). Of the 46.1 million individuals categorized as intermediate CVH by the LS7 score, 8.1 million (17.6%) and 2.3 million (5.0%) were reclassified to poor and ideal CVH by the LE8 score, respectively. Of the 40.1 million individuals categorized as ideal CVH by the LS7 score, 18.9 million (47.1%) and 0.1 million (0.2%) were reclassified to poor CVH and intermediate CVH by the LE8 score, respectively. Conclusion Among US young adults, there has been no improvement in CVH over the last decade with notable sex and race/ethnicity-associated differences in the LE8 score. Nearly 1 in 4 young adults had ideal CVH using the LE8 score compared with 1 in 2 individuals using the LS7 score.

Trends in Modifiable Risk Factors Amongst First Presentation ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients in a Large Longitudinal Registry. Heart Lung Circ 2023; 32:480-486. [PMID: 36801127 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2022.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/20/2022] [Indexed: 02/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that the risk factor profile of patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is changing. AIM The aim is to determine if there has been a shift of cardiovascular risk factors to cardiometabolic causes in the first presentation STEMI population. METHOD We analysed data from a STEMI registry from a large tertiary referral percutaneous coronary intervention centre to determine the prevalence and trends of the modifiable risk factors of hypertension, diabetes, smoking and hypercholesterolaemia. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive first presentation STEMI patients between January 2006 to December 2018. RESULTS Among the 2,366 patients included (mean age 59, SD 12.66, 80% male) the common risk factors were hypertension (47%), hypercholesterolaemia (47%) current smoking (42%) and diabetes (27%). Over the 13 years, patients with diabetes (20% to 26%, OR 1.09 per year, CI 1.06-1.11, p<0.001) and patients with no modifiable risk factors increased (9% to 17%, OR 1.08, CI 1.04-1.11, p<0.001). Concurrently there was a fall in prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia, (47% to 37%, OR 0.94 per year, CI 0.92-0.96, p<0.001) and smoking (44% to 41%, OR 0.94, CI 0.92-0.96, p<0.001) but no significant change in rates of hypertension (53% to 49%, OR 0.99, CI 0.97-1.01, p=0.25). CONCLUSION The risk factor profile of first presentation STEMI has changed over time with a reduction in smoking and a concurrent rise in patients with no traditional risk factors. This suggests the mechanism of STEMI may be changing and further investigation of potential causal factors is warranted for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
AIMS Heart failure (HF) in young adults is uncommon, and changes in its incidence and prognosis in recent years are poorly described. METHODS AND RESULTS The incidence and prognosis of HF in young adults (1850 years) were characterized using nationwide medico-administrative data from the French National Hospitalization Database (period 20132018). A total of 1,486 877 patients hospitalized for incident HF were identified, including 70 075 (4.7) patients aged 1850 years (estimated incidence of 0.44 for this age group). During the study period, the overall incidence of HF tended to decrease in the overall population but significantly increased by 0.041 in young adults (P 0.001). This increase was notably observed among young men (from 0.51 to 0.59, P 0.001), particularly those aged 3650 years. In these young men, ischaemic heart disease (IHD) was the most frequently reported cause of HF, whereas non-ischaemic HF was mainly observed in patients 35 years old. In contrast to non-ischaemic HF, the incidence of IHD increased over the study period, which suggests that IHD-related HF is progressively affecting younger patients. Concordantly, young HF patients presented with high rates of traditional IHD risk factors, including obesity, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, or diabetes. Lastly, the rates of re-hospitalization (for HF or for any cause) within two years after the first HF event and in-hospital mortality were high in all groups, indicating a poor-prognosis population. CONCLUSION Strategies for the prevention of HF risk factors should be strongly considered for patients under 50 years old.

Abstract
Objectives:
Patients with post-myocardial infarction (MI) are more likely to die later from heart failure (HF), arrhythmic events, or reinfarction. According to recent studies, mortality rates were noticeably higher in women, than in men. This has been linked to variations in age, comorbidities, symptom presentation, and pathophysiology of the underlying coronary artery disease. There is little information on how these typical gender disparities affect post- MI survival. Studies on individuals with coronary artery disease have primarily focused on men, with women typically being left out of most series. Despite the relatively high prevalence of ischemic heart disease in women, there is a lack of information regarding the clinical course of the condition, its management, and clinical outcomes in this particular population due to the underrepresentation of women in the medical literature in this field. The gender disparities in post-MI patients who present with HF will be briefly discussed in this article.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 50 patients that presented with HF and had a previous history of MI were included in this study after taking consent. After taking history and detailed physical examination, investigations that were sent were reviewed and the subjects followed up in the hospital stay to look for outcomes. The data are compiled and subjected to statistical analysis.
Results:
It is observed that among the 50 subjects, 32% of them had recurrent HF (13 of the 30 females and three of the 20 males). p = 0.04 is statistically significant. Among the study subjects, the hospital outcomes observed showed that, out of 50 subjects, 47 subjects recovered and the other three died in hospital stay. All the three deaths are women. p = 0.15 is not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
This study concludes that women are more likely than males to require hospitalization for recurrent HF following a MI. This study also demonstrates that, despite the higher risk of recurrent HF, women do not have a higher mortality risk than males.

Abstract
Aim. To assess periprocedural dynamics of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without heart failure (HF) in the medical history, as well as its prognostic value in the development of cardiovascular complications in the postinfarction period.Materials and methods. A prospective, single-center observational study included 131 patients with first AMI without HF in the past medical history and successful PCI. LVEF was assessed before PCI at admission and before discharge. In patients with reduced baseline LVEF of less than 50%, the criteria for its periprocedural improvement were chosen: 1) LVEF ≥ 50%; 2) ΔLVEF of more than 5%, but EF < 50%. The endpoints were hospitalization for the development of HF and death from cardiovascular disease in combination with the development of HF. The average follow-up period was 2.5 years.Results. At admission, LVEF was < 50% in 74 (56.5%) patients. At discharge, according to the criteria for LVEF improvement, the proportion of patients in this group was 40.5 and 14.9%, respectively. In 44.6% of cases, no increase in LVEF was noted. The predictors of the absence of periprocedural dynamics in LFEF included impaired regional contractility index > 1.94, left ventricular end-systolic volume > 57 ml, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter > 5.1 cm, pulmonary artery systolic pressure >27 mm Hg, NT-proBNP > 530 pg / ml, and E / A ratio > 1.06. During the follow-up period, 28 (21.4%) patients were hospitalized for the development of HF, 33 (25.2%) patients had a combined endpoint. The absence of periprocedural improvement in left ventricular contractility was independently associated with higher odds of hospitalization for HF (relative risk (RR) 3.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.63–7.55; p = 0.001) and the combined endpoint (RR 2.6; 95% CI 1.28–5.48; p = 0.009) in the postinfarction period.Conclusion. In patients with first AMI and left ventricular systolic dysfunction, periprocedural evaluation of LVEF is reasonable to stratify the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
Background There have been limited data examining the age-dependent relationship of wide-range risk factors with the incidence of each subtype of cardiovascular disease (CVD) event. We assessed age-related associations between modifiable risk factors and the incidence of CVD. Methods and Results We analyzed 3 027 839 participants without a CVD history enrolled in the JMDC Claims Database (mean age, 44.8±11.0 years; 57.6% men). Each participant was categorized as aged 20 to 49 years (n=2 008 559), 50 to 59 years (n=712 273), and 60 to 75 years (n=307 007). Using Cox proportional hazards models and the relative risk reduction, we identified associations between risk factors and incident CVD, consisting of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and heart failure (HF). We assessed whether the association of risk factors for developing CVD would be modified by age category. Over a mean follow-up of 1133 days, 6315 myocardial infarction, 56 447 angina pectoris, 28 079 stroke, and 56 369 HF events were recorded. The incidence of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and HF increased with age category. Hazard ratios of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes in the multivariable Cox regression analyses for myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, stroke, and HF decreased with age category. The relative risk reduction of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes for CVD events decreased with age category. For example, the relative risk reduction of hypertension for HF decreased from 59.2% in participants aged 20 to 49 years to 38.1% in those aged 60 to 75 years. Conclusions The contribution of modifiable risk factor to the development of CVD is greater in younger compared with older individuals. Preventive efforts for risk factor modification may be more effective in younger people.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in younger individuals. Lipid biomarkers such as lipoprotein-a (Lp-a), Apo A1, Apo B and Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) serve as important risk predictors for development of CAD. There is little evidence regarding the role of lipid biomarkers and their genetic polymorphisms in young (<50 years) ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. METHODS This study included 110 young (18-50 years) STEMI patients and 110 healthy controls. Serum levels of Apo A1, Apo B, Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) were estimated for both patients as well as controls. Additionally, genetic polymorphisms in the Apo A1 (75G/A) and the PON1 (Q192R) genes were evaluated. RESULTS Serum levels of apo B (101.31 ± 27.58 vs 75.31 ± 18.77 mg/dl; p < 0.0001), Lp(a) [87.56 ± 74.28 vs 25.81 ± 24.66 mg/dl, p < 0.0001] and Lp-PLA2 [5.97 ± 1.39 vs 3.49 ± 1.27 ng/mL, p < 0.0001] were significantly higher in patients as compared to controls. Serum levels of Apo A1 [44.76 ± 35.65 vs 95.97 ± 29.89; p < 0.0001] and PON1 [2.63 ± 1.5 vs 3.87 ± 1.47 ng/mL, p < 0.0001] were significantly lower in cases as compared with controls. Additionally, patients with genetic polymorphisms in the Apo A1 (75G/A) and the PON1 (Q192R) gene had an increased risk of STEMI. CONCLUSION Lipid biomarkers such as Apo A1, Apo B and PON1 and their genetic polymorphism are associated with the susceptibility for STEMI in young individuals.

[PMID: 36498311 PMCID: PMC9740190 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192316235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the association between serum ferritin and dyslipidemia in children and adolescents with different degrees of obesity. METHOD In this multi-stage, stratified, randomized, sampling cross-section cohort study, demographic data were collected by questionnaire from 4320 children and adolescents (aged 6-17 years) in Shanghai, China. Anthropometric measures and percent body fat (PBF) were recorded. Serum lipid parameters were detected by an automatic biochemical method, and ferritin levels were measured by an automatic immunoassay. RESULTS Our results showed 70.6%, 13.9%, and 15.5% of participants had a healthy body fat, low fat, and overweight/obese, respectively. Increasing ferritin quartiles were independently associated with a greater hazard of dyslipidemia, especially in overweight/obese participants, and the OR (95% CI) was 3.01 (1.29-7.00), 3.58 (1.59-8.04), and 5.66 (2.57-12.46) across the ferritin quartiles after adjustment for confounders. Ferritin was only a predictive value for dyslipidemia in overweight/obese participants (AUC = 0.64) and was consistent in boys (AUC = 0.61) and girls (AUC = 0.68). The significant positive correlation between ferritin value and lipid abnormalities profiles (except for low HDL-C) mainly appeared in the overweight/obesity group. CONCLUSION The results showed that serum ferritin can be considered an independent risk factor for dyslipidemia in children and adolescents with obesity. HIGHLIGHTS Ferritin overload had a greater risk of dyslipidemia, especially in children and adolescents with overweight/obesity.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the risk factors, clinical features, and prognostic factors of patients with premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study of patients with AMI included in data from the West China Hospital of Sichuan University from 2011 to 2019 was divided into premature AMI (aged < 55 years in men and < 65 years in women) and non-premature AMI. Patients' demographics, laboratory tests, Electrocardiography (ECG), cardiac ultrasound, and coronary angiography reports were collected. All-cause death after incident premature MI was enumerated as the primary endpoint. RESULTS Among all 8,942 AMI cases, 2,513 were premature AMI (79.8% men). Compared to the non-premature AMI group, risk factors such as smoking, dyslipidemia, overweight, obesity, and a family history of coronary heart disease (CHD) were more prevalent in the premature AMI group. The cumulative survival rate of patients in the premature AMI group was significantly better than the non-premature AMI group during a mean follow-up of 4.6 years (HR = 0.27, 95% CI 0.22-0.32, p < 0.001). Low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (Adjusted HR 3.00, 95% CI 1.85-4.88, P < 0.001), peak N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level (Adjusted HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.18-1.52, P < 0.001) and the occurrence of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) (Adjusted HR 2.36, 95% CI 1.45-3.85, P = 0.001) were predictors of poor prognosis in premature AMI patients. CONCLUSION AMI in young patients is associated with unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Low LVEF, elevated NT-proBNP peak level, and the occurrence of in-hospital MACCEs were predictors of poor prognosis in premature AMI patients.

Abstract
AIMS Family history is a known risk factor for early-onset myocardial infarction (EOMI). However, the role of modifiable lifestyle and metabolic factors in EOMI risk is unclear and may differ from that of older adults. METHODS This case-control study included myocardial infarction (MI) patients aged ≤45 years from the Bremen ST-elevation MI Registry and matched controls randomly selected from the general population (German National Cohort) at the same geographical region. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the individual and combined associations of lifestyle and metabolic factors with EOMI risk, overall and according to family history for premature MI. RESULTS A total of 522 cases and 1191 controls were included. Hypertension, current smoking, elevated waist-to-hip ratio, and diabetes mellitus were strongly associated with the occurrence of EOMI. By contrast, higher frequency of alcohol consumption was associated with decreased EOMI risk. In a combined analysis of the risk factors hypertension, current smoking, body mass index ≥25.0 kg/sqm, and diabetes mellitus, participants having one (OR = 5.4, 95%CI = 2.9-10.1) and two or more risk factors (OR = 42.3, 95%CI = 22.3-80.4) had substantially higher odds of EOMI compared to those with none of these risk factors, regardless of their family history. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates a strong association of smoking and metabolic risk factors with the occurrence of EOMI. The data suggest that the risk of EOMI goes beyond family history and underlines the importance of primary prevention efforts to reduce smoking and metabolic syndrome in young persons.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the usual clinical entry point for coronary heart disease. France is the European country with the highest prevalence of cannabis use and an increase in serious cardiovascular complications, including infarction, related to cannabis. The main objective was to compare the clinical and cardiological profile of patients with ACS according to exposure to cannabis use. POPULATION AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective, single-centre, exposure-non-exposure cohort study of all adult patients (> 18 years) admitted for ACS in the ICU between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2021 at the Centre Hospitalier de Troyes, with mention of cannabis use in the medical record. A matching was performed so that each patient identified in the exposed group was associated with a comparable unexposed patient on age, sex, period of hospitalisation and cardiovascular event typology (type of ACS and topography for ST+). RESULTS 2745 patients admitted to the ICU and the coronary angiography room presented an ST+ or ST- ACS from 01/01/2012 to 31/12/2021 at the CHT. For 31 patients of them (1.1%), we noted cannabis consumption, which concern 7,9% of SCA ST+ aged under 50. DISCUSSION The link between cannabis use and ACS is established, but studies concerning the place of cannabis in the ACS pathway of an ICU are few in France. Our results show the interest of developing a specific pathway focused on the needs of patients and their specificities in post ACS management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For younger women with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), little is known regarding their contemporary care pathways and clinical outcomes. METHODS We studied AMI patients aged 18-55 years, hospitalized from April 1, 2009, to March 31, 2019, in Ontario, Canada. We compared trends in comorbidities, angiographic findings, and revascularisation rates in men and women. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality or readmission for unstable angina, AMI, heart failure, or stroke. Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to account for differences in baseline clinical characteristics between men and women. RESULTS Among the 38,071 AMI patients included, 8,077 (21.2%) were women. Over the study period, women had increasing rates of diabetes (24.8% to 34.9%; Ptrend < 0.001), and declining rates of smoking (53.2% to 41.7%; Ptrend < 0.005). Although most patients received coronary angiography (96%), coronary revascularisation was less frequent among women than men (percutaneous coronary intervention: 61.9% vs 78.8% [P < 0.001]; surgery: 4.1% vs 6.0% [P < 0.001]). Women had more normal coronary anatomy (5.8% vs 1.7%; P < 0.001) and nonobstructive disease (22.8% vs 9.3%; P < 0.001) than men. Compared with men, the primary composite end point was significantly increased among women (10.0% vs 7.9%, adjusted HR 1.11; P = 0.02) and related to increased readmission rates for cardiovascular events. All-cause readmission was significantly increased among women (25.8% vs 21.1%, adjusted HR 1.34; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Coronary angiography is performed almost universally in younger women with AMI; however, coronary revascularisation is less frequent, perhaps reflecting less obstructive disease. Although mortality rates after AMI were similar between sexes, cardiovascular readmission rates and all-cause readmissions were significantly increased among women.

Abstract
Background Limited data exist on the risk profile and outcomes among young patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in low-and middle-income countries(LMICs). This study explored differences in the clinical characteristics, medical care, and outcomes of AMI in young adults in India with a subanalysis focusing on sex disparities amongst the young. Methods Using the Acute Coronary Syndrome Quality Improvement in Kerala trial database, we compared baseline characteristics, management, and outcomes amongst the young patients(≤50 years) and their older counterparts. The primary outcomes were the rates of in-hospital and 30-day composite of in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE). Results Of the 21,374 adults enrolled, 4762(22%) were young, of which 614 (12.9%) were females. Young patients with AMI were more likely to be smokers(41.9% vs. 27.8%;P < 0.001) and undergo coronary angiography (66.3%vs.57.3%;P < 0.001) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)(57.5% vs. 47.0%;P < 0.001), compared to older patients. After adjustment for potential confounders, younger patients had a lower likelihood of in-hospital (RR = 0.49; 95%CI 0.40-0.61;P < 0.001) and 30-day MACE (RR = 0.54; 95%CI 0.46-0.64;P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis comparing young males and females revealed worse cardiovascular risk profile among young women except for smoking. In-hospital MACE(RR = 1.60; 95%CI, 1.0-2.45;P = 0.048) were higher for young women compared to men. Conclusion Young AMI patients had higher prevalence of modifiable risk factors, were more likely to receive reperfusion therapy, and had better short and intermediate outcomes, compared to older patients. Compared to young men with AMI, young women had worse cardiovascular risk profile, were less likely to be treated with diagnostic angiography or PCI and experienced higher in-hospital death and MACE.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12081946.

Abstract
Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite continuous advances in diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic methods. Myocardial work (MW) indices and miRNAs have both emerged as potential prognostic markers in acute coronary syndromes in recent years. In this study we aim to assess the prognostic role of myocardial work indices and of a group of miRNAs in young patients with STEMI. We enrolled 50 young patients (<55 years) with STEMI who underwent primary PCI and 10 healthy age-matched controls. We performed standard 2D and 3D echocardiography; we also calculated left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the derived myocardial work indices. Using RT-PCR we determined the plasmatic levels of six miRNAs: miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-486-5p and miR-155-5p. We assessed the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at up to one year after STEMI. Out of 50 patients, 18% experienced MACE at the one-year follow-up. In a Cox univariate logistic regression analysis, myocardial work indices were all significantly associated with MACE. The ROC analysis showed that GWI, GCW and GWE as a group have a better predictive value for MACE than each separately (AUC 0.951, p = 0.000). Patients with higher miRNAs values at baseline (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) appear to have a higher probability of developing adverse events at 12 months of follow-up. ROC curves outlined for each variable confirmed their good predictive value (AUC = 0.832, p = 0.002 for miR-223-3p; AUC = 0.732, p = 0.031 for miR-142-3p and AUC = 0.848, p = 0.001 for miR-146a-5p); the group of three miRNAs also proved to have a better predictive value for MACE together than separately (AUC = 0.862). Moreover, adding each of the miRNAs (miR-233, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) or all together over the myocardial work indices in the regression models improved their prognostic value. In conclusion, both myocardial work indices (GWI, GCW and GWE) and three miRNAs (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) have the potential to be used as prognostic markers for adverse events after acute myocardial infarction. The combination of miRNAs and MW indices (measured at baseline) rather than each separately has very good predictive value for MACE in young STEMI patients (C-statistic 0.977).

Abstract
Background The immune system plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the exact immune related mechanism is still unclear. This research study aimed to identify key immune-related genes involved in AMI. Methods CIBERSORT, a deconvolution algorithm, was used to determine the proportions of 22 subsets of immune cells in blood samples. The weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify key modules that are significantly associated with AMI. Then, CIBERSORT combined with WGCNA were used to identify key immune-modules. The protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) combined with cytoHubba plugins were used to identify key immune-related genes that may play an important role in the occurrence and progression of AMI. Results The CIBERSORT results suggested that there was a decrease in the infiltration of CD8 + T cells, gamma delta (γδ) T cells, and resting mast cells, along with an increase in the infiltration of neutrophils and M0 macrophages in AMI patients. Then, two modules (midnightblue and lightyellow) that were significantly correlated with AMI were identified, and the salmon module was found to be significantly associated with memory B cells. Gene enrichment analysis indicated that the 1,171 genes included in the salmon module are mainly involved in immune-related biological processes. MCODE analysis was used to identify four different MCODE complexes in the salmon module, while four hub genes (EEF1B2, RAC2, SPI1, and ITGAM) were found to be significantly correlated with AMI. The correlation analysis between the key genes and infiltrating immune cells showed that SPI1 and ITGAM were positively associated with neutrophils and M0 macrophages, while they were negatively associated with CD8 + T cells, γδ T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and resting mast cells. The RT-qPCR validation results found that the expression of the ITGAM and SPI1 genes were significantly elevated in the AMI samples compared with the samples from healthy individuals, and the ROC curve analysis showed that ITGAM and SPI1 had a high diagnostic efficiency for the recognition of AMI. Conclusions Immune cell infiltration plays a crucial role in the occurrence and development of AMI. ITGAM and SPI1 are key immune-related genes that are potential novel targets for the prevention and treatment of AMI.

Abstract
Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young patients is a concerning issue because of its adverse health and social impacts. Nevertheless, risk factors and prognosis of AMI in young patients are yet to be characterized. Objectives This study aimed to characterize AMI in young patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using large-scale nationwide all-comer registry data in Japan, the Japanese Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (J-PCI). Methods This retrospective cohort study evaluated the J-PCI registry data of patients with AMI aged 20 to 79 years who underwent primary PCI between January 2014 and December 2018. Data on risk factor profiles, clinical features, post-procedural complications, and in-hospital outcomes were reviewed. Results Among 213,297 patients with AMI who underwent primary PCI, 23,985 (11.2%) were young (ages 20 to 49 years). Compared with the older group (ages 50 to 79 years; n = 189,312), the younger group included a higher number of men, smokers, patients with dyslipidemia, and patients with single-vessel disease, and a lower number of patients with hypertension and diabetes. Despite favorable clinical profiles, younger age was associated with a higher rate of presentation with cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA). Further, concomitant CPA was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality in young patients (odds ratio: 14.2; 95% CI: 9.2 - 21.9). Conclusions Younger patients with AMI presented a higher risk of CPA, which was strongly associated with in-hospital mortality. The results of this study highlight the importance of primary AMI prevention strategies in young individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex differences in clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes among patients with non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction have been described in Western countries, but whether these differences exist in China is unknown. METHODS We used a 2-stage random sampling design to create a nationally representative sample of patients admitted to 151 Chinese hospitals for non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction in 2006, 2011, and 2015 and examined sex differences in clinical profiles, treatments, and in-hospital outcomes over this time. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for age or other potentially confounding clinical covariates were used to estimate these sex-specific differences. RESULTS Among 4611 patients, the proportion of women (39.8%) was unchanged between 2006 and 2015. Women were older with higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Among patients without contraindications, women were less likely to receive treatments than men, with significant differences for aspirin in 2015 (90.3% versus 93.9%) and for invasive strategy in 2011 (28.7% versus 45.7%) and 2015 (34.0% versus 48.4%). After adjusting for age, such differences in aspirin and invasive strategy in 2015 were not significant, but the difference in invasive strategy in 2011 persisted. The sex gaps in the use of invasive strategy did not narrow. From 2006 to 2015, a significant decrease in in-hospital mortality was observed in men (from 16.9% to 8.7%), but not in women (from 11.8% to 12.0%), with significant interaction between sex and study year (P=0.023). After adjustment, in-hospital mortality in women was significantly lower than men in 2006, but not in 2011 or 2015. CONCLUSIONS Sex differences in cardiovascular risk factors and invasive strategy after non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction were observed between 2011 and 2015 in China. Although sex gaps in in-hospital mortality were largely explained by age differences, efforts to narrow sex-related disparities in quality of care should remain a focus. REGISTRATION URL: http://www.

Abstract
The main issue in the prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) is to reduce risk factors. Periodontal disease is related to cardiovascular disease and both share risk factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether periodontitis can be considered a risk factor for MI and common risk factors in a case-control study and in a prospective follow-up study in patients with MI. The test group (MIG) was made up of 144 males who had MI in the previous 48 h. The control group (CG) was composed of 138 males without MI. Both groups were subdivided according to the presence or absence of stage III and IV of periodontitis. General data; Mediterranean diet and physical activity screening; periodontal data; and biochemical, microbiological and cardiological parameters were recorded. ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests and binary logistic regression analysis were applied. No differences in anthropometric variables were observed between the four groups. The average weekly exercise hours have a higher value in CG without periodontitis. The number of leukocytes was higher in MIG, the number of monocytes was higher in CG and the number of teeth was lower in MIG with periodontitis. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was higher in CG. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia were higher in CG with periodontitis and in MIG with and without periodontitis. At follow-up, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) data were better in the non-periodontitis group: 15 patients had Mayor Cardiovascular Adverse Events (MACE), 13 of them had periodontitis and 2 did not show periodontitis. Periodontitis, exercise, diet and smoking are risk factors related to MI. MACE presented in the 'MI follow-up' shows periodontitis, weight, exercise hours and dyslipidemia as risk factors. LVEF follow-up values are preserved in patients without periodontitis. Our data suggest that periodontitis can be considered a risk factor for MI and MACE in the studied population.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE An increasing proportion of people in the US hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are younger than 55 years, with the largest increase in young women. Effective prevention requires an understanding of risk factors associated with risk of AMI in young women compared with men. OBJECTIVES To assess the sex-specific associations of demographic, clinical, and psychosocial risk factors with first AMI among adults younger than 55 years, overall, and by AMI subtype. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This study used a case-control design with 2264 patients with AMI, aged 18 to 55 years, from the VIRGO (Variation in Recovery: Role of Gender on Outcomes of Young AMI Patients) study and 2264 population-based controls matched for age, sex, and race and ethnicity from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2008 to 2012. Data were analyzed from April 2020 to November 2021. EXPOSURES A wide range of demographic, clinical, and psychosocial risk factors. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Odds ratios (ORs) and population attributable fractions (PAF) for first AMI associated with demographic, clinical, and psychosocial risk factors. RESULTS Of the 4528 case patients and matched controls, 3122 (68.9%) were women, and the median (IQR) age was 48 (44-52) years. Seven risk factors (diabetes [OR, 3.59 (95% CI, 2.72-4.74) in women vs 1.76 (1.19-2.60) in men], depression [OR, 3.09 (95% CI, 2.37-4.04) in women vs 1.77 (1.15-2.73) in men], hypertension [OR, 2.87 (95% CI, 2.31-3.57) in women vs 2.19 (1.65-2.90) in men], current smoking [OR, 3.28 (95% CI, 2.65-4.07) in women vs 3.28 (2.65-4.07) in men], family history of premature myocardial infarction [OR, 1.48 (95% CI, 1.17-1.88) in women vs 2.42 (1.71-3.41) in men], low household income [OR, 1.79 (95% CI, 1.28-2.50) in women vs 1.35 (0.82-2.23) in men], hypercholesterolemia [OR, 1.02 (95% CI, 0.81-1.29) in women vs 2.16 (1.49-3.15) in men]) collectively accounted for the majority of the total risk of AMI in women (83.9%) and men (85.1%). There were significant sex differences in risk factor associations: hypertension, depression, diabetes, current smoking, and family history of diabetes had stronger associations with AMI in young women, whereas hypercholesterolemia had a stronger association in young men. Risk factor profiles varied by AMI subtype, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors had higher prevalence and stronger ORs for type 1 AMI compared with other AMI subtypes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this case-control study, 7 risk factors, many potentially modifiable, accounted for 85% of the risk of first AMI in young women and men. Significant differences in risk factor profiles and risk factor associations existed by sex and by AMI subtype. These findings suggest the need for sex-specific strategies in risk factor modification and prevention of AMI in young adults. Further research is needed to improve risk assessment of AMI subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, the status and principal factors of psychosocial adjustment of young and middle-aged patients after coronary stent implantation (CSI) are understudied. OBJECTIVE To investigate the psychosocial adjustment and the life experiences of young and middle-aged patients after CSI and the corresponding support necessary to maintain psychosocial health for this patient population. METHODS This is a mixed-method study. Self-reported questionnaires were used to survey 236 patients after CSI from November 2019 to November 2020 in Guangdong, China. Eight of these patients were purposefully invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. RESULTS The mean score of psychosocial adjustment were 55.25 (SD=19.96), 55.91 (SD=17.99) for the young and middle-aged patients after CSI respectively. The results of regression analysis showed that resilience, social support, and having diabetes were predictors of psychosocial adjustment of young patients after CSI (R2=0.703, P<0.001). Resilience, social support, current cardiac function, and need to care for parents with chronic diseases were identified as predictors of psychosocial adjustment among middle-aged patients after CSI (R2=0.640, P<0.001). Two themes and six sub-themes related to adjustment challenges and adjustment efforts were identified from the in-depth interviews. CONCLUSIONS Psychosocial adjustment of young and middle-aged patients after CSI still needs to be improved. Higher level of social support and resilience would promote patient's psychosocial adjustment after CSI. Diabetes was a negative factor of psychosocial adjustment in young patients, whereas limited cardiac function, need to take care of parents with chronic diseases were negative factors in middle-aged patients. After CSI, both young and middle-aged patients faced various challenges of adjustment.

Young adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, defined using the fatty liver index, can be at increased risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; 24:465-472. [PMID: 34726318 DOI: 10.1111/dom.14597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 10/15/2021] [Accepted: 10/31/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular events among a nationally representative sample of young adults in Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS This population-based cohort study from the Korean National Health Insurance Service included adults who were aged 20 to 39 years when they underwent a health examination between 2009 and 2012. NAFLD was defined as a fatty liver index (FLI) ≥60, and participants were divided into three groups according to FLI (<30, 30-59 and ≥60) to investigate the dose-dependent effect of FLI score. Among 5 324 410 participants, 9.8% had an FLI ≥60. There were 13 051 myocardial infarctions (MIs; 0.39%) and 8573 strokes (0.26%) during a median follow-up of 8.4 years. In multivariable analysis, NAFLD was associated with a higher risk of MI and stroke (hazard ratio [HR] 1.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.61-1.77 and HR 1.73, 95% CI 1.63-1.84, respectively). MI and stroke had dose-dependent relationships with FLI (HR 1.28 in participants with FLI 30-59 and 1.73 in those with FLI ≥60 for MI and HR 1.18 in participants with FLI 30-59 and 1.41 in those with FLI ≥60 for stroke, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Nonalcholic fatty liver disease was an independent predictor of MI and stroke in young adults. These results suggest that primary prevention of cardiovascular disease should be emphasized in young adults with NAFLD.
