AI Article Synopsis
- * A 42-year-old male with hemophilia A experienced severe chest pain and was diagnosed with an anteroseptal myocardial infarction following recent treatment with recombinant factor VIII.
- * This case highlights the rare occurrence of acute coronary syndromes in hemophilia A patients, especially after receiving factor VIII treatment.
Article 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.
