A case of acute myocardial infarction in a young patient with a newly diagnosed nephrotic syndrome

Abstract

Thromboembolic complications in nephrotic syndrome (NS) are frequently encountered in the practice of a nephrologist and in many cases determine the course and outcome of diseases. The article presents a clinical case of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with Q tooth of posterior basal, lateral localization in a 36-year-old patient with a newly diagnosed nephrotic syndrome. In the young patient without a history of cardiovascular risk factors, coronary angiography revealed signs of progressive atherosclerotic stenosis of the coronary arteries, and the cause of MI was thrombotic occlusion of the enveloping branch of the left coronary artery. This clinical case required a more detailed study; the examination revealed a set of factors that led to MI in this young patient.
