Secondary thrombocythemia with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction as the first manifestation: a case report

CONCLUSION: After a thorough analysis of the pertinent literature, we discovered that several retrospective studies demonstrated the effectiveness of cytoreductive therapy in significantly reducing platelet counts. Based on this finding, we prescribed hydroxyurea to our patient, which led to a gradual decrease in platelet count and ultimately resulted in a return to normal levels.PMID:37554887 | PMC:PMC10405984 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001067
