ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze clinical characteristics in young and aged patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical and coronary angiographic data were compared between young (PCAD, male < 55 years old, n = 74, female < 65 years old, n = 71) and aged (CAD, male > 55 years old, n = 106, female > 65 years old, n = 111) patients. Seventy-one patients excluded with CAD by angiography served as controls (non-CAD). The traditional risk factors (including age, smoking, blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, BMI, family history), coronary angiographic changes were analyzed and compared among various groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>(1) Compared with CAD group, PCAD patients had significantly higher rate of smoking (50.3% vs. 38.0%, P < 0.05), significantly higher positive CAD family history rate (29.7% vs. 19.9%, P < 0.05) and significantly higher TG level [(2.13 +/- 1.89) mmol/L vs. (1.78 +/- 1.14) mmol/L, P < 0.05], while had significantly fewer traditional risk factors (2.50 +/- 1.28 vs. 2.76 +/- 1.43, P < 0.05) and lower hypertension rate (59.3% vs. 73.3%, P < 0.05). There were significantly more PCAD patients with acute coronary syndrome (66.2% vs. 42.6%, P < 0.05), more PCAD patients had single vessel lesion (51.0% vs. 30.4%, P < 0.05), lower average lesion score (4.86 +/- 2.30 vs. 5.92 +/- 2.66, P < 0.05). (2) The logistic regression results showed that positive CAD family history (P = 0.029, OR = 1.766, 95% CI 1.060 - 2.940) and smoking (P = 0.066, OR = 1.561, 95% CI 0.971 - 2.510) are important independent risk factors for the development of PCAD.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Smoking, positive family history and the increased TG might contribute to the pathogenesis of PCAD.</p>
