Consequential Catastrophe: A Rare Interaction of Upper Gastrointestinal Haemorrhage and Acute Coronary Syndrome

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common medical condition that results in up to 10% mortality rate. The severity of bleeding ranges from occult blood loss to massive hemorrhage, with the latter often resulting in rapid onset of anemia. Anemia is an independent risk factor for developing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Here, we present a case of acute upper GI bleeding developing anemia, which led to ACS.
