Abstract:
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The prevalence of coronary artery disease has increased in young adults. We evaluated the differences in clinical characteristics and clinical outcomes in young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). METHODS: A total of 164 patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into two groups: the STEMI group (120 patients; mean age, 35.7 +/- 3.8 years; 118 males) and the NSTEMII group (44 patients; mean age, 35.7 +/- 4.3 years; 43 males). We analyzed clinical and angiographic characteristics and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death from any cause, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery, during a 1-year clinical follow-up of the two groups. RESULTS: During hospitalization, Killip class II acute myocardial infarction (5.8% vs. 15.9%, p = 0.041) was observed more frequently in the NSTEMI group. The levels of troponin-I (66.9 +/- 103.6 vs. 26.6 +/- 38.5 ng/mL, p = 0.014) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (733.0 +/- 1,018.1 vs. 476.2 +/- 374.5 pg/mL, p = 0.012) were significantly higher in the STEMI group. One-year MACE did not differ between the two groups. By multiple logistic regression analysis, bare metal stents (odds ratio, 3.360; 95% confidence interval, 1.105-10.217; p = 0.033) and high lipoprotein (a) levels (odds ratio, 1.047; 95% confidence interval, 1.020-1.075; p = 0.001) were independent predictors of 1-year MACE. CONCLUSIONS: Young patients with STEMI and NSTEMI have similar clinical outcomes. Bare metal stents and high serum lipoprotein (a) levels are independent predictors of MACE during 1-year clinical follow-ups in young patients with acute myocardial infarction.
