Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In acute coronary syndromes, GPIIb/IIIa platelet inhibitors have demonstrated a reduction in recurrent myocardial ischemia. Conversely, one might expect that enhancing platelet activity in patients in acute coronary syndromes would have the opposite effect. We report a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) that had recurrent myocardial ischemia associated with administration of intravenous immunogloblin (IVIG). Literature is reviewed.
