The increasing incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among the young population represents a significant and emerging health concern, contributing substantially to both mortality morbidity. Unlike infarctions occurring in older individuals, traditional risk factors such as diabetes hypertension exhibit weaker association younger demographic. Consequently, there is pressing need for deeper understanding novel that contribute AMI patients. In this review, we explore distinct factor profiles associated with young-onset comparison Special attention given factors, examining their susceptibility exploring preventive measures. comprehensive profile extremely South Asians who develop early coronary arterial disease not yet fully understood. There are many evolving which intervention reduce morbidity mortality. It has been seen established inflammatory markers like lipoprotein (a), dyslipidaemia, long COVID, new air pollution (micro- nanoplastics), periodontitis, stress, energy drinks, misuse recreational drugs may increase influence treatment, outcomes population.

More prospective studies needed evaluate its factors.
