Issue Date: | Mar-2006 | Citation: | Tan, I.L.,Tan, H.C.,Teo, S.G.,Lim, Y.T. (2006-03). Simultaneous thromboses of multiple coronary arteries in acute myocardial infarction. Singapore Medical Journal 47 (3) : 240-242. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Simultaneous thrombotic occlusion of multiple coronary arteries in acute myocardial infarction is a well-recognised phenomenon. Studies have reported diffuse destabilisation of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with acute myocardial infarction, leading to the concept of "pan-coronaritis". The putative mechanism is attributed to a systemic thrombophilic and inflammatory state. We report the occurrence of this phenomenon in two middle-aged male patients. | Source Title: | Singapore Medical Journal | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/115287 | ISSN: | 00375675 |
