Why the study?
The association between cardiovascular disease and diabetes is increasingly understood and shared therapeutic targets are emerging.
Severe metabolic derangement such as diabetic ketoacidosis can precipitate acute coronary syndrome due to coronary thrombosis even in young patients without atherosclerotic plaque rupture.
DKA may precipitate coronary thrombosis in young patients without atherosclerosis; leaves open whether targeted strategies alter risk.
The association between cardiovascular disease and diabetes is increasingly understood and shared therapeutic targets are emerging. We describe the presentation and successful management of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) secondary to coronary thrombus in a young patient with a new diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis.
