Two-year observation of a young woman with recurrent myocardial infarction

Abstract

The article is devoted to a clinical case of recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a 35-year-old woman. The patient had several AMI risk factors (RF): long-term, intensive smoking, Chlamydia pneumoniae and Helicobacter pylori infections, medical abortions, dysmenorrhea, uterine myoma, hormonal and hemostatic dysbalance, and psycho-emotional stress. Endothelial dysfunction, pediatric anamnesis, and multiple organ pathology also played their roles in recurrent AMI pathogenesis.
