Assessing endothelium resistance to thrombus formation as a potential risk factor causing recurrent cardiovascular events in young patients after cardiac infarction

Cardiac infarction is considered a disease more common for elderly people; despite that, up to 10 % of all cardiac infarctions occur at a young age. Cardiac infarction has grave consequences both for mental health and future working capability of patients who had it. Approximately 15 % patients who have had cardiac infarction have to face a recurrent cardiovascular event based on thrombus formation in spite of therapy. Our research goal was to assess endothelium homeostasis in patients after cardiac infarction being treated with double anti-thrombocyte therapy during out-patient rehabilitation and to reveal potential risks that could cause recurrent cardiovascular diseases. Overall, we examined 25 people aged from 18 to 45 who had cardiac infarction and were treated with invasive therapy aimed at eliminating ischemic heart disease. The therapy was emergency percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery stenting performed at Perm Clinical Cardiologic Clinic during a period from September 2018 to March 2019...
