ResumoAbstract Genetic factors and hypofibrinolytic state may contribute to the likelihood of developing in myocardial infarction (MI) in young women rather than traditional risk factors. High plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1 ( PAI-1 ) level and PAI-1 gene polymorphism have been shown to be associated with thrombotic events such as myocardial infarction, deep venous thrombosis, and stroke. We determined 4G / 4G polymorphism in a 34-year-old female patient with subacute anterior myocardial infarction and coronary thrombus in left anterior descending artery on coronary angiogram.
