myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries :: Article Creator Coronary Artery Disease In Young Adults: Epidemiology, Clinical Insights And Management Early onset coronary artery disease (CAD) in individuals under 45 years old presents unique challenges, with prevalence rates of 1-2% generally, and as high as 5-10% among South Asian populations. With marked lifestyle changes and high caloric diet contributing to early occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors and associated smoking have increased the prevalence of CAD in this young population.

Hence, we aim to explore the multi-faceted aspects of early onset CAD and its impact in ethnically diverse patient population. This Research topic will focus only on earl...
