Myocardial infarction in a young person presents a significant challenge because its etiology is least likely associated with atherosclerosis. Polycythemia vera refers to one of the rare causes of myocardial infarction, which involves enhanced erythrocyte levels, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, splenomegaly, and a greater chance of vascular occlusion due to clotting in coronary arteries. A 22-year-old male from Pakistan, Asia without typical risk factors, presented with severe chest pain. Electrocardiography indicated acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, and streptokinase was administered. Subsequent investigations confirmed polycythemia vera. Treatment with hydroxyurea and aspirin was initiated, whereas normal coronary arteries in CT coronary angiogram were observed. This case highlights polycythemia vera\u2019s rare role in young individuals\u2019 heart attacks without known risk factors, emphasizing the need for early detection and specialized treatments involving hematologists to prevent future thrombotic episodes. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2050313x241253741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,13]],"date-time":"2024-05-13T05:16:55Z","timestamp":1715577415000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Myocardial infarction in young individual: A case report of polycythemia vera-induced acute inferior wall myocardial infarction"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sarmad","family":"Raza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, Mardan Medical Complex, Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan, KP, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jehandad","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiology Unit, Mardan Medical Complex, Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan, KP, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6696-6770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aresha Masood","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maaz","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic Radiology (CMH Abbottabad), Gomal Medical College, Dera Ismail Khan, KP, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/0929867321666131227162950"},{"key":"bibr2-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2019.05.001"},{"key":"bibr3-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2796.1998.00314.x"},{"key":"bibr4-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bcmd.2012.06.004"},{"key":"bibr5-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/shem.2001.23044"},{"key":"bibr6-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2005-08-3526"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr7-2050313X241253741","volume":"50","author":"Duran Luciano P","year":"2023","journal-title":"Tex Heart Inst J"},{"key":"bibr8-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2022.03.010"},{"key":"bibr9-2050313X241253741","first-page":"9656387","volume":"2019","author":"Davis MI","year":"2019","journal-title":"Case Rep Cardiol"},{"key":"bibr10-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/hr.2015.5941"},{"key":"bibr11-2050313X241253741","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2016-03-643544"}],"container-title":["SAGE Open Medical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2050313X241253741","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/2050313X241253741","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/2050313X241253741","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,1]],"date-time":"2025-03-01T03:07:27Z","timestamp":1740798447000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/2050313X241253741"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"references-count":11,"alternative-id":["10.1177\/2050313X241253741"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/2050313x241253741","relation":{},"ISSN":["2050-313X","2050-313X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2050-313X","type":"print"},{"value":"2050-313X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]},"article-number":"2050313X241253741"}}
