Abstract

Background: To Study the Risk Predictors in Young Patients presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Subjects and Methods: Patient with ACS who presented to medicine OPD or cardiology department were evaluated for hypertension, age, sex, smoking, family history of premature coronary artery disease and dietary history, Waist to hip ratio was calculated and association of different variables for ACS in young adults was assessed. Results: In the present trial total of 265 subjects Maximum were males (n=183, 69.06%) and rest were female (n=82, 30.94%). Maximum patient belongs to 41-50 years age group (n=104, 39.25%), Maximum patients had a sedentary lifestyle (n=197, 74.34%) and 81 patients (30.57%) reported to have a history of intake of diet rich in fat or saturated fats. 87 subjects (32.83%) gave history of Oral Tobacco Addiction, 80 patients (30.19%) gave history of Smoking and 43 patients (16.23%) were having habit of alcohol consumption.33 patients (12.45%) gave Positive Family history. Subjects with WHR  0.9 (Male) or  0.85 (Female) were 191 (72.08%). And subjects with  WHR >0.9 (Male) or >0.85 (Female) were only 74 (27.92%). Maximum patient had Dyslipidemia (n= 119, 44.91%). Maximum patients had AWMI. Metabolic syndrome was present in 148 subjects (55.85%). Conclusion: Males account for the majority of young ACS patients. To reduce ACS-related mortality and morbidity, more stress should be placed on addressing the young on how to manage these risk factors.
