Polycythemia Vera Presenting as Cardiac Arrest: Novel Management Strategies

Polycythemia Vera Presenting as Cardiac Arrest: Novel Management Strategies

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) usually occur in patients with multiple cardiac risk factors. In young adults, drug use and hypercoagulable states are common causes for ACS presentations. We report a case of a man in his early 30s who was diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV) and had a cardiac arrest...

We report a case of a man in his early 30s who was diagnosed with polycythemia vera (PV) and had a cardiac arrest due to an anterolateral ST elevation myocardial infarction. We discuss his unique management and review the evidence on the management of arterial thromboembolism in PV patients.http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2019/9656387
