ABSTRACT
Presentamos el caso de un síndrome coronario agudo en un paciente de 30 años con trombocitemia esencial. Los síndromes coronarios agudos ocurren en el 9% de los casos en estos pacientes, y su manejo constituye todo un reto para el cardiólogo, en concreto, en cuanto a la elección del tratamiento antiagregante más adecuado y su duración, considerando que estos pacientes tienen por una parte un elevado riesgo trombótico y, además, un riesgo hemorrágico no despreciable
