Reactive thrombocytosis leading to acute myocardial infarction.

چکیده
Thrombocytosis is defined as platelet count of > 600000. An elevated platelet count may be primarily (essential) or secondary (reactive). Acute myocardial infarction and other vaso-occlusive phenomenon are seen in less than 5% of the patients of reactive thrombocytosis. Here we report such a case. A 49 yr old lady presented with chest pain and had isolated right ventricular infarction that progressed to anteroseptal wall STEMI. Her platelet count was 11 lac; the triggering factor in this case was reactive thrombocytosis secondary to lower respiratory tract infection and iron-deficiency anaemia confirmed after investigations. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed through IL6 levels. The patient was managed aggressively in ICCU, she had an uneventful recovery and was discharged with a normal platelet count.

متن کاملReactive Thrombocytosis Associated with Acute Myocardial Infarction following STEMI with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The etiology of thrombocytosis can be classified into reactive and essential forms. The rate of thromboembolic events is higher in essential thrombocytosis, and these events include strokes, transient ischemic attacks, retinal artery or retinal vein occlusions, digital ischemia, and acute coronary syndrome. In a study of 732 medical and surgical patients with thrombocytosis, 88% had reactive th...
