Few case reports have been documented on patients with concomitant conditions of acute myeloid leukemia and acute myocardial infarction, and it is important to note that prognosis for patients with both is worse than that of either condition. While both conditions together are rare, other non-atherosclerotic causes of acute coronary syndromes are likewise important considerations in the context of myocardial ischemia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 59-year-old Caucasian woman with no notable past medical history presented to her primary care provider with 2\u00a0weeks of severe fatigue, anorexia, and malaise, associated with chills, night sweats, and myalgias. Peripheral blood smear identified 92% blasts consistent with acute myeloid leukemia and computed tomography identified a right segmental pulmonary embolism and thrombotic infarcts in the spleen, bilateral kidneys, right lung, and liver. Laboratory testing also demonstrated disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. She was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment and subsequently developed ventricular tachycardia, anterolateral ST segment elevation, acute dysarthria, and nonreactive pupils. Pulseless electrical activity developed with unsuccessful resuscitative measures. The patient died secondary to presumed cerebrovascular and coronary thromboses causing stroke and anterolateral infarct complicated by ventricular tachycardia and pulseless electrical activity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case is notable as a case of acute myeloid leukemia causing acute thrombosis of coronary arteries with anterolateral ST elevation myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia, and pulseless electrical activity. Prognosis of concomitant acute myeloid leukemia and acute myocardial infarction is poor. Management is challenging due to thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and systemic coagulopathy, and administration of thrombolytic agents can be fatal. This is an extreme presentation of a case of acute myocardial infarction with disseminated intravascular coagulopathy causing acute coronary thrombosis and sudden death with dramatic electrocardiogram and telemetry findings recorded with rapid progression from normal sinus rhythm to acute myocardial infarction to terminal rhythm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-022-03280-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]],"date-time":"2022-04-12T07:04:19Z","timestamp":1649747059000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Acute myeloid leukemia causing acute thrombosis of the\u00a0coronary arteries: a\u00a0case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9253-2116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meganne N.","family":"Ferrel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederick T.","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"3280_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1038\/s41569-019-0273-3","volume":"17","author":"TM Waterbury","year":"2020","unstructured":"Waterbury TM, Tarantini G, Vogel B, Mehran R, Gersh BJ, Gulati R.
