Abstract
Background: Patients with hemophilia have a hypocoagulable state and less chances of thrombus formation. Therefore, expected to have a lower cardiovascular mortality than the general population. The lower cardiovascular mortality can be explained by less chances of thrombus formation due to hypocoagulability.
Case presentation: Here we present a case of a 42-year-old male patient presented with severe chest pain radiating to back for 4 days. ECG was suggestive of recent acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. There was a history of receiving intravenous recombinant factor VIII, 1 hour prior to the onset of chest pain for knee joint swelling. The occurrence of acute coronary syndromes in patients with hemophilia A is uncommon and rarely reported.
Conclusion: Here we report a patient of severe hemophilia A who developed acute myocardial infarction after administration of recombinant factor VIII.
期刊介绍:
Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders - Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular targets involved in cardiovascular and hematological disorders e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes. Each issue of the journal contains a series of timely in-depth reviews written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in cardiovascular and hematological disorders. As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for cardiovascular and hematological drug discovery continues to grow.
