Acute myocardial infarction: thrombotic complications of nephrotic syndrome.
Thrombotic complications are common in patients with nephrotic syndrome. We report a case of acute inferior wall myocardial infarction in a nephrotic patient secondary to a thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery which was subsequently documented to be free from any significant atherosclerotic disease.
