  • Title: Acute neurological events in a patient with secondary polycythaemia and arteriovenous malformations.
    Author: Gill DS, Ng CK, Ng KS.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 2005 Mar 10; 99(1):137-9. PubMed ID: 15721514.
    Abstract:
    General internists and adult cardiologist are seeing adult congenital heart disease more frequently in their clinical practices. We report the case of a polycythaemic patient with the cerebral and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) who presents with a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Treatment strategies such as antiplatelet drugs and vensection may at best be ineffective and at worst detrimental to the patient.
