A group of young patients up to 40 years old with coronary heart disease and a group of 100 students were studied. Risk factors in young patients with coronary heart disease and students were analyzed. It was revealed that healthy young people (students) have the same risk factors as people with coronary heart disease. That allows us to regard them as potential applicants for the development of coronary heart disease.

Most often, there were such risk factors as smoking, alcohol, unhealthy diet. It was revealed that the greater the need for alcohol, the earlier the development of CHD. The obtained changes according to the ECG, echocardiography on the background of risk factors indicate early ischemic changes in the heart.

Significant risk factors were stress, depression.

Ways of preventing early development in young people have been identified.
