Early Onset Atherothrombosis: Sudden Cardiac Arrest Complicating Anterior STEMI in a 25-year-old Patient with Elevated Lipoprotein A: A Case Report

Key Points

• To examine the case of a 25-year-old patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest after anterior STEMI associated with elevated lipoprotein A levels.
• Case report detailing clinical presentation and outcomes
• Assessment of lipoprotein A levels in relation to thrombotic events
• Review of existing literature on early onset atherothrombosis
• The patient experienced sudden cardiac arrest shortly after being diagnosed with anterior STEMI.
• Elevated lipoprotein A levels were identified as a potential risk factor for thrombotic complications.
• Review of literature suggested similar cases where high lipoprotein A correlated with early onset atherothrombotic events.
