Abstract EN
We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who was admitted to our cardiology unit for acute coronary syndrome.
Her history was notable for cardiovascular disease familiarity, active smoking, and oral contraceptive use.
On further analysis, she was noted to have thrombophilic polymorphisms involving the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes.
We discuss the implications that these cofactors may have had in the genesis of the disease.
