VARELA-TABARES, Diana C. et al. Acute coronary syndrome in the young patient. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.3, pp.317-324. Epub 01-Set-2022. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000160.
The diseases of the circulatory system constitute the leading cause of death in the world. In Colombia, ischemic heart disease is the main cause of death, both in men and women, being within the group of women the cause of more than half of the deaths, close to 53%. Ischemic disease in young people, defined as those under 45 years old, has been described in cohorts around to 11.6%, with a lower mortality rate. The difficulty in addressing these patients is higher, given that, when consulting the emergency department, ischemic heart disease is rarely suspected.
