[Coronary heart disease in patients under 35 in Switzerland: round table discussion].
Young patients under the age of 35 years who had had myocardial infarction or angina and in whom selective coronary angiography had been performed were included in a retrospective study. In these 185 patients the importance of the risk factors could be demonstrated. 80% had been smokers, 50% had been obese, and the percentage of positive family history and of hyperlipidemia was elevated compared with an age-matched control group. Angiography showed predominantly one-vessel disease, the anterior descending branch being affected in 52%. Few complications after AMI were observed and 30% of the group underwent surgery mainly for angina. The operative risk is low due to the youth and generally good general condition of these patients.
