Insights
Myocardial infarction in young adults has diverse causes, including atherosclerosis and substance abuse. This case highlights a rare instance post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy, emphasizing prompt diagnosis and intervention.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Nephrology
- Medical Case Reports
Background:
- Myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults is uncommon and multifactorial.
- Potential causes include atherosclerosis, nonatherosclerotic conditions, hypercoagulable states, and substance abuse.
- Post-procedural cardiovascular events require careful consideration.
Abstract:
The causes of myocardial infarction in a young adult can be divided into four groups: (1) atherosclerosis, (2) nonatherosclerosis, (3) hypercoagulable states, and (4) substance abuse. We present here a case of the 29-year-old male patient who developed myocardial infarction after undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Prompt diagnosis and timely intervention salvaged his myocardium.
