Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction (MI) is increasingly common among young women under 50, yet there is limited research on this demographic's specific risk factors and outcomes compared to older women.
- A study analyzed data from 197 hospitalized women, finding that young women had high rates of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes, and typically presented with chest pain and monovessel disease, with a noteworthy number admitted late for treatment.
- The findings indicate that while young women have fewer cardiovascular risk factors overall, they experience unique challenges such as a higher prevalence of certain conditions and different presentation patterns of MI compared to older women.
Complications following acute myocardial infarction (MI) such as ventricular septal rupture (VSR) and left ventricular (LV) aneurysm are rare and can be dreadful. Their simultaneous presence in the same patient is extremely rare. We aimed to present a rare case of concomitant association of ventricular aneurysm and VSR complicating an inferior myocardial infarction.
