title: [Accelerated coronary atherosclerosis in a 24-year-old man].
abstract: We present a 24-year-old man with multiple coronary risk factors (cigarette smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia, obesity) who was admitted to the hospital with non-specific chest pain. The coronary angiography showed critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending artery. The percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with coronary atherectomy and stent placement was performed. The treatment provided symptomatic relief and effort tolerance improvement.
