Catheterization-documented coronary artery disease in young Chinese adults.
We conducted a retrospective study among 31 young (age<40 years) Chinese patients with catheterization-documented coronary artery disease. Male gender and smoking were the most important risk factors. Most of them had a single or two-vessel coronary artery disease. Standard treatment strategies could be applied. The prognosis appeared to be excellent.
