Coronary Artery Disease
(CAD)
Occasionally, young people may suffer premature atherosclerosis,
which is deposition of fat in the arteries that may block blood supply
to the heart muscle. Normally seen in older people >40 years, but
this particular condition can happen in young people under the age of 35
years.
In
this condition, there is abnormal fat metabolism in the body, and
invariably people with this condition have family history of premature
heart attacks. The risk of having heart attack and sudden death is made
worse by eating an unhealthy diet, smoking and excessive consumption of
alcohol. People affected with this condition should be very strict in
leading a healthy lifestyle.
