Abstract

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is increasingly seen in younger patients, who often present with distinct risk profiles and clinical features. Identifying prognostic factors is essential for personalized management in this group. Objectives: To evaluate clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and in-hospital prognostic factors in ACS patients aged ≤ 40 years. Methods: A retrospective study on ACS patients aged 18–40 who underwent coronary angiography/intervention at Chợ Rẫy Hospital from April 2021 to April 2024. Results: A total of 120 patients (median age: 36; 89.2% male, male:female = 9:1). Common risk factors: overweight/obesity (67.5%), dyslipidemia (62.5%), smoking (37.5%). STEMI was most frequent (64.2%), most presented with Killip I (83.3%), with single-vessel disease (67.5%) mostly in LAD (66.7%). In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurred in 12.5%: mortality (3.3%), acute heart failure (4.2%), life-threatening arrhythmia (4.2%), mechanical complications (0.8%). GRACE score was an independent predictor (OR 1.11; p<0.001). A cutoff of GRACE ≥ 89 had AUC > 0.8, sensitivity 73.3%, specificity 97.1%. Conclusions: Young ACS patients are predominantly male, often present with STEMI, Killip I, and single LAD lesions. GRACE ≥ 89 is a strong predictor of in-hospital MACE.
