A case report of a 32-year-old female patient without any traditional risk factors presented with angina to our hospital within 6 h. Her electrocardiogram (ECG) showed extensive anterior wall -ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI). She was treated with thrombolytic therapy in the form of tenecteplase and was given standard treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Her history revealed three recurrent pregnancy losses and a history of preeclampsia. Echocardiography showed regional wall motion abnormalities of the mid, distal, apex, and anterior wall with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Routine blood investigations showed elevated total leukocyte count with neutrophilic predominance. With a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, she was investigated for anti-phospholipid anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) and was found to have positive lupus anticoagulant 1. She underwent coronary angiography (CAG) which showed a left main shaft 40% stenosis with an ulcerative lesion containing thrombus in the ostioproximal to mid-left anterior descending artery (LAD), other coronary arteries were normal. She was managed conservatively with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (Tirofiban) and switched to oral anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonist (VKA-Acenocoumarin) along with dual-antiplatelet therapy.
