Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is considered the most common cause of death, with multiple complications post MI that has short and long term implication on the patient’s quality of life Coronary artery disease is relatively rare in subjects below 40 years of age, as it occurs in about 6–10% of them, but it has grave medical, social, psychological, and economic consequences in this age group. Sudden cardiac death, which is the most severe complication of CAD, occurs also in young subjects, and some authors believe it is one of the most common causes of mortality among young adults. With rapid civilization changes and increasing prevalence of conventional risk factors for CAD, premature atherosclerosis is a growing problem, occurring in even younger age groups including those in the third and fourth decade of life.
