Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Although many well-known risk factors exist, the association between inherited thrombophilia disorders and acute MI is not well described. Here, we present a case of a 75-year-old male with known 4G/4G PAI-1 polymorphism, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation, and peripheral artery disease (PAD) post stent placement who presented with cardiogenic shock in the setting of acute MI with no prior significant cardiac history.
