Coronary artery disease in young adults: current trends and prospects in diagnosis and treatment

This article emphasizes the relevance of the problem of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among young people, highlighting the need to update and deepen knowledge about diagnostic and treatment methods. The article presents a review of contemporary research on the diagnosis and treatment of IHD in youth, paying special attention to the study of the effectiveness and safety of the latest diagnostic methods, the influence of genetic factors, as well as the significance of pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to treatment. Research results confirmed the high effectiveness of multi-slice computed tomography of the coronary arteries and cardiac MRI in diagnosing IHD, particularly for early detection of the disease. Significant genetic markers have been identified that can be used for early diagnosis of IHD, especially in patients with a family history of the disease. The necessity of integrating various diagnostic approaches, considering genetic factors, and focusing on lifestyle in the prevention and treatment strategies for IHD in young individuals is noted. The findings of this review may be useful for specialists in cardiology, public health, and medical education.
