Abstract

Acute coronary syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although acute coronary syndrome is usually the disease of people over 45 years old, a number of younger patients are also diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome. Besides atherosclerosis, non-atherosclerotic causes of acute coronary syndrome should also be considered during diagnosis. In this paper, we reviewed all causes of the acute coronary syndrome in the young adults.
