ABSTRACT
Acute myocardial infarction is a rare but potentially lethal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. There are several proposed mechanisms for acute myocardial infarction in lupus patients atherosclerosis and endothelial injury leading to plaque rupture, coronary vasculitis and inflammation of the vessel wall causing aneurismal dilatation or spasm, and acute thrombosis and embolism. We report a-37-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed myocardial infarction twice. Potential mechanisms for acute myocardial infarction for this patient are discussed in this report.
