Article Synopsis
- The study discusses a rare case of a 34-year-old man with polycythemia vera (PV) who also suffered from cardiac hypertrophy, indicating a possible link between the two conditions.
- Initially diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy after experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath, he later presented with severe respiratory distress and high blood pressure, leading to treatment with hydroxyurea.
