Premature Myocardial Infarction (MI) Complicated by Cardiac Arrest Secondary to Essential Thrombocythaemia (ET)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article describes a case of premature myocardial infarction (MI) in a young individual, complicated by cardiac arrest and ultimately attributable to essential thrombocythaemia (ET). The report emphasises the necessity of considering underlying haematological disorders as unconventional risk factors for cardiovascular events, particularly in younger patients without traditional risk factors. Prompt recognition and multidisciplinary management are imperative to optimise clinical outcomes in such atypical presentations.
