Essential thrombocythemia with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction as the first manifestation: A case report

Abstract: BACKGROUND We report a case of essential thrombocythemia (ET) in a 44-year-old male who exhibited non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) as the first manifestation without known cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs). For the first time, we reported a left main trifurcation lesion in NSTEMI caused by ET, including continuous stenosis lesions from the left main to the ostial left anterior descending (LAD) artery and an obvious thrombotic lesion in the ostial and proximal left circumfl… Show more

“…Thrombotic complications are the primary cause of death in ET; they can be arterial or venous. The risk for thrombosis is higher in patients older than 60 years, those with prior thrombosis, and those with JAK2/MPL mutations [ 4 , 5 , 9 ].…”

“…The primary clinical manifestations of ET are thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications; Thrombosis can be arterial, which includes strokes, transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery ischemia, or venous, which includes pulmonary embolisms (PE), or deep vein thrombosis. Bleeding usually occurs when the platelet count is extremely high (>1,500 × 10^3/uL) [4][5][6].…”
