Abstract:
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is very rare in young adults. Nephrotic syndrome is an uncommon cause of AMI in young adults and is characterized by excessive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and generalized edema. The hypercoagulable state and accelerated atherosclerosis in patients with nephrotic syndrome may be associated with the development of AMI in young adults. We report herein a case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with sudden cardiac arrest in a young patient with minimal change disease.
