Abstract:
We report the case of recurrent myocardial infarction with essential thrombocythemia (ET) in a 61-year-old female patient. Only one report of recurrence of myocardial infarction has been previously described. Coronary angiography 10 days after the infarction was normal. Thrombocythemia had been controlled with hydroxyurea.
