Abstract
We report on a follow-up of 210 patients who underwent coronary angiog raphy before age 40. We found that young patients with normal coronary arteries have an excellent prognosis, whereas those with single-vesse l disease have an unfavorable outcome resembling that of patients with multivessel disease.
