Abstract: Objective To investigate the risk factors and predictive value of Framingham Risk Score of young men with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods A total of 201 young male patients (30≤age<45 years old) who underwent coronary angiography in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from July 2016 to July 2019 were selected as the research subjects. According to the results of coronary angiography, they were divided into two groups: CAD group (n=139) and non-CAD group (n=62). Framingham Risk Score was calculated for all patients, and patients in both groups were divided into two subgroups according to Framingham Risk Score: low risk group and high risk group/moderate risk group. The severity of coronary artery disease in patients with CAD was assessed by Gensini score, and the medical history and relevant clinical and laboratory indicators of all subjects were collected. Results The proportions of smoking, hypertension and family history of CAD in CAD group were higher than those in non-CAD group (P<0.05).There were significant differences in high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), ApoB/ApoA and non-HDL-C in CAD group (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the mean Framingham Risk Score between CAD group and non-CAD group as well as the proportion of patients in the low-risk Framingham Risk Score and the medium/high risk Framingham Risk Score. Further analysis of the correlation between the Framingham Risk Score and Ginsini Score in the CAD group showed no linear correlation (P=0.749).The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the Framingham Risk Score was 0.544 (95%CI: 0.458-0.629, P =0.324).Binary linear multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, family history of premature coronary atery disease and homocysteine (HCY) were independent risk factors for coronary heart disease in young men,while HDL-C is a protective factor in these samples. Conclusion A single-center cross-sectional study shows that Framingham Risk Score cannot adequately assess coronary artery severity in young male patients with CAD. The importance of non-traditional CAD risk factors should be considered in young male patients with early onset CAD, and future prospective studies with more samples are needed to verify this.
