title: [Resistance to activated protein C in a patient with multiple myocardial infarctions and stroke--a case report].
abstract: A case of a 49-year-old female with a history of two myocardial infarctions (MI) and ischaemic stroke is presented. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to a third acute MI. Laboratory investigations revealed resistance to activated protein C due to factor V Leiden mutation. Diagnosis and treatment of patients with this condition are discussed.
