Combination of factor V Leiden and MTHFR mutations in myocardial infarction.

Identifying patients who are at high risk of suffering myocardial infarction can be done by determining risk factors or by the adoption of molecular genetic testing for inherited thrombophilia. We report a case of myocardial infarction at a young age. The patient complained of dyspnea (stage III) and a burning pain of severe intensity that radiated to the left retrosternal side, but was not associated with palpitations or diaphoresis.
