Abstract:
The prevailing risk factors for MI
among young patients, compared with the elderly,
are male sex, smoking and heredity burdened by
the early onset of coronary heart disease. On
the contrary, arterial hypertension and type 2
diabetes mellitus are more typical for the elderly.
Nevertheless, more than half of the young
patients had a history of hypertension. Attention
is drawn to the high prevalence of dyslipidemia,
overweight and obesity, as well as physical
inactivity in both age groups. Thus, according to
the study, the profile of risk factors for MI at a
young age includes: male sex, smoking, heredity
burdened by the early onset of coronary artery
disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, overweight
and obesity, hypodynamia, thrombogenic
orientation of the platelet link of hemostasis,
endothelial dysfunction and the phenomenon of
early vascular aging.
