Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction is usually seen in the setting of atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors. One of the rare causes of AMI in young patients is polycythemia vera.
We report the case of 38-year-old male with a history of tobacco use, who presented with constrictive chest pain and ST segment elevation in leads V1 through V6, DI and AvL. His blood investigation report showed higher levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit. the search for the JAK2V617F mutation in the blood came back positive. The patient was diagnosed with polycythemia vera.
This case illustrates the importance of considering PV a cardiovascular risk factor, making early diagnosis crucial for early initiation of preventive treatment.
