First, the 5 major risk factors for myocardial infarction in the young population in the China Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (CAMI) study, China’s young myocardial infarction patients under the age of 45 years, the proportion of men as high as 94%. And there are 5 major risk factors leading to acute myocardial infarction, which are smoking (72.1%), hypertension (33.5%), obesity (18.3%), diabetes mellitus (11.3%) and hyperlipidemia (10.4%).

There were 85.2% of young patients with acute heart attack who had at least one of these five risk factors. It is easy to see from these data that poor lifestyle habits, especially smoking, are the main cause of acute myocardial infarction. Young women have a cardiovascular protective effect of estrogen, and male smokers are much larger than females, so obese males who smoke become a typical feature of myocardial infarction in the young population.

Second, the level of education is an independent factor affecting the death of infarction in the occurrence of myocardial infarction, with the passage of time, the death of myocardial cells will be more and more. At this point there should be a race to reopen the blood vessels and restore the blood supply to the myocardium.

And when deciding whether or not to do interventional therapy and stenting, the doctor will explain the viciousness of the disease and the riskiness of the associated treatment, which is often the most time-wasting stage.

The more educated a person is, the more he or she knows about the risks and dangers of myocardial infarction. When it comes to daily prevention, they will be more cooperative with medical advice, have better medication compliance, and are more likely to choose the right treatment when the disease occurs. Those with a lower level of education are more likely to hesitate and miss the opportunity to save their lives.

Third, young people rarely pay attention to the heart health of China’s myocardial infarction has a trend of youth, and young people have myocardial infarction, and their own neglect of the disease. Most young people think that hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other “three highs”, as well as heart disease are only the elderly need to pay attention to the problem, they seldom go to the body check, do not care whether they have “three highs”.

Some young people, although they have a physical examination every year, are unwilling to take medication to control the “three highs” because they have no symptoms or the symptoms are not obvious after they have discovered them. As a result, atherosclerosis occurs in the arteries, and the progress of atherosclerotic plaques accelerates until rupture occurs and myocardial infarction occurs.

Fourth, the characteristics of the population to be alert to myocardial infarction smoking, obese men, is prone to heart attack young characteristics of the population. Need to carry out a healthy lifestyle, quit smoking, limit alcohol, do not stay up late, can avoid damage to the cardiovascular. Every day more than 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise, can effectively increase cardiopulmonary function.

It is important to have regular medical checkups to see if your blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids are normal, and if you have the “three highs”, you need to take regular medication under the guidance of your doctor to control the indicators normally. Regular heart function checkups, such as cardiac ultrasound and electrocardiogram, are also necessary to ensure that problems are treated promptly.

To summarize, myocardial infarction is not an “exclusive disease” of the elderly, but is becoming more common in young people under 45 years of age. Men, smoking and obesity are the typical characteristics of myocardial infarction under 45 years old. Young men should live a healthy life, pay attention to their health, and eliminate their “heart attack characteristics”.
