Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial and venous thrombosis, often accompanied by elevated titers of anti-phospholipid antibodies. Cardiac involvement in APS is not uncommon. However, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) from in-situ thrombosis is a rare but important manifestation of APS. We present a rare case of AMI in a young female with APS secondary to in-situ coronary thrombosis.
抗磷脂抗体综合征(APS)是一种全身性自身免疫性疾病,其特征为动脉和静脉血栓形成,常伴有抗磷脂抗体滴度升高。APS累及心脏并不少见。然而,原位血栓形成导致的急性心肌梗死(AMI)是APS一种罕见但重要的表现形式。我们报告了一例年轻女性因原位冠状动脉血栓形成继发APS导致AMI的罕见病例。
