Pathogenesis of myocardial infarction in young adults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Despite advancements in medicine, ischemic heart diseases continue to be the leading cause of death, with myocardial infarction (MI) being the most severe form. Commonly diagnosed in today's population, MI incidents have been increasing, particularly among young adults. This stage of life is critical and significantly affects the socioeconomic well-being of the community. Several risk factors contribute to the prevalence of MI in young adults, including smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and a family history of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, factors like obesity, diabetes, and substance abuse also play a significant role. However, since most risk factors are modifiable, the incidence of MI can be reduced, emphasizing the need for increased awareness.
