| Abstract | ||||
| Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of mortality. Although AMI is less common in persons under 45 years old than in older adults, young individuals have been become clinically interesting due to the risk of long term damage and death . Young individuals had an incidence of AMI as low as 2-6%, but it has recently started to grow. The mechanism and disease course of AMI in young people are probably different from that in old population. The protection offered by young age is countered by increased prevalence of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), such as impaired glucose tolerance and obesity, in adolescence. Identifying and controlling cardiovascular risk factors at an early age may prevent cases of young myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study is to evaluate the Risk factors during the acute Myocardial infarction in young individuals . Conclusion: Smoking, obesity, dyslipidaemia, and hypertension were the most common risk factors for acute MI. Smoking was the most common risk factor in males. | ||||
