Risk factor profiling and study of atherosclerotic coronary plaque burden and morphology with coronary computed tomography angiography in coronary artery disease among young Indians

ACS in young Indians is characterized by a higher prevalence of both conventional and newer risk factors. In addition, culprit lesions in young ACS patients are more frequently characterized by coronary plaques with high risk morphological features. This may have implications in terms of preventive strategies to identify this high-risk group.
