May signal vincristine-related cardiotoxicity requiring monitoring; single case report leaves open causality and incidence.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights a potential association between vincristine treatment and acute myocardial infarction.
Mandel et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Lymphosarcoma (n=1). Vincristine was evaluated on Myocardial infarction. Weekly injections of vincristine in a patient with lymphosarcoma were associated with the development of recurrent acute myocardial infarctions immediately following administration.
