Abstract

1.Myocardial infarction occurring in patients 35 years old or younger was compared between 27 patients from a veterans' hospital and 16 patients from a private hospital. The following differences were noted: The infarct was due to atherosclerosis without associated pertinent diseases in a larger percentage of the veterans than private patients, and this was especially true in the fatal cases; a larger segment of the total number of infarcts was composed of adults at the veterans' hospital than at the private hospital; one-fourth of the series that included both sexes were women. 2.Because reported reviews of myocardial infarction in patients aged 36 to 40 years seem similar to older patients and different from patients 35 years and younger, it is suggested that in future studies on myocardial infarction in young adults the maximum age be 35 years. 3.Although much of the data regarding myocardial infarction in soldiers and veterans is applicable to the disease in the general population, some which is not has been discussed.
