Study of young patients with myocardial infarction: Design and rationale of the YOUNG ‐MI Registry

The YOUNG‐MI registry is a retrospective study examining a cohort of young adults age ≤ 50 years with a first‐time myocardial infarction. The study will use the robust electronic health records of 2 large academic medical centers, as well as detailed chart review of all patients, to generate high‐quality longitudinal data regarding the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients who experience a myocardial infarction at a young age. Our findings will provide important insights regarding prevention, risk stratification, treatment, and outcomes of cardiovascular disease in this understudied population, as well as identify disparities which, if addressed, can lead to further improvement in patient outcomes.
