  • Title: Myocardial infarction with proximal occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in a 22-year-old patient with polycythaemia vera.
    Author: Nahler A, Fuchs D, Reiter C, Kiblböck D, Steinwender C, Lambert T.
    Journal: Clin Med (Lond); 2017 Feb; 17(1):46-47. PubMed ID: 28148580.
    Abstract:
    In this article, we report on a 22-year-old patient with myocardial infarction, which was the initial manifestation of polycythaemia vera. The awareness of myeloproliferative disorders as possible underlying disease - especially in young patients presenting with myocardial infarction - is crucial for clinical management, as a missed diagnosis can worsen the patient's further prognosis.
