Influence of Air Quality on the Development and Progression of Premature Coronary Artery Disease

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

The new global guidelines from the World Health Organization on air quality provide evidence of the damage that air pollution inflicts on human health at even lower concentrations than previously thought. Different studies have shown an increase in the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in young people in recent decades. The main objective of this project is to study the impact of environmental pollutants on the premature manifestation of CAD from different epidemiological approaches and their impact on the evolution of these patients with a gender perspective. It is a retrospective analytical case-control study nested in a cohort of patients ≤40 years old with a clinical history of CAD including: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, unstable angina, stable angina or silent angina according to the international classification of diseases.

Treatments
Premature Coronary Artery Disease
Patients between 18 and 40 years old diagnosed with coronary artery disease, including: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), unstable angina, stable angina, MINOCA or silent angina
Non Coronary Artery Disease
Patient without coronary artery disease~For each case, 3 controls matched by age (±1 year), sex, postal code, and/or primary care center will be included. To avoid the selection of controls that could be associated with an overestimation of exposure to cardiovascular risk factors, the controls will be recruited from the preoperative unit and selected from subjects who have undergone minor clinical procedures (vasectomy, hernia repair, phimosis, prominent ear correction, tubal ligation, euthyroid thyroid nodule, plastic surgery, lipomas, vocal cord cysts, among others), or from the trauma service, selecting those attending for fractures or sprains. This approach ensures a complete medical history along with analytical values in their electronic medical records
