Case report of severe coronary artery disease complicated by malignant arrhythmia due to inherited thrombophilia
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
APRIL 8, 2025
The principal clinical manifestation of thrombophilia is venous thromboembolism, which is also markedly linked to arterial thrombosis, including myocardial infarction. The patient had a history of deep vein thrombosis and was genetically tested to carry two thrombophilia susceptibility alleles at the PAI-1 (4G/5G) and MTHFR (C>T) loci.

MY Interpretation of Today's Initial ECG: I've labeled key findings in Figure-2 for today's initial ECG: The rhythm is sinus tachycardia at ~105/minute. The sinus tachycardia is a definite concern that something acute may be ongoing. Figure-2: I've labeled t he initial ECG. All intervals ( PR, QRS, QTc ) are normal.

Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates). The underlying etiology is either Type 1 or Type II ischemia, although sometimes there’s overlap of both. Type I ischemia. Type II ischemia.

The ECG and long lead II rhythm strip in Figure-1 — was obtained from a COVID positive patient with persistent tachycardia not responding to Diltiazem. Figure-1: The initial ECG — obtained from a patient with persistent tachycardia. ( Microvascular dysfunction — cardiac vasculitis — intravascular thrombosis.

Category 1 : Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates. elevated BP), but rather directly correlated with coronary obstruction (due to plaque rupture and thrombosis) and, potentially, stymied TIMI flow. This results in Type I MI.

Interpretation: There is sinus tachycardia, with right bundle branch block (RBBB). Blunt cardiac injury my result in : 1) Acute myocardial rupture with tamponade 2) Valve rupture (tricuspid, aortic, mitral) 3) Coronary thrombosis or dissection (and thus Acute MI) from direct coronary blunt injury 4) Dysrhythmias of all kinds.
