- W4302012040 abstract "Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm involving the clonal proliferation of platelets. It is Philadelphia negative and is associated with Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), calreticulin (CALR), or myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene (MPL) mutations. The resultant platelets have quantitative and qualitative defects, making them more sticky and prone to thromboembolism. However, ET does not only affect platelet survival, it also has a low leukemogenic potential. It's more common in the elderly, 60 years or more, but can be seen in all age groups, including children. Patients with ET have an increased risk of vascular events like hemorrhage and thromboses like cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction, superficial thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and smoking can lead to increased thromboembolism and atherosclerosis. The management of ET focuses primarily on the prevention of thrombosis and hemorrhage. It involves cardiovascular risk management and antiplatelet and cytoreductive therapy according to the risk stratification. Low-risk ET patients are treated with low-dose aspirin, and high-risk ET patients are treated with cytoreductive therapy with hydroxyurea. Interferon (IFN) and anagrelide are reserved for young patients or pregnant women. This case report discusses a 40-year-old male, a known smoker presenting with myocardial infarction and left anterior descending artery (LAD) blockage without any prior history. His high platelets and the relative absence of cardiovascular risk factors helped reach the diagnosis, and bone marrow analysis and mutation analysis confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was started on hydroxyurea, which decreased the total platelet count." @default.
