This article discusses a case of a 28-year-old male patient who experienced a coronary thrombus after consuming an energy drink and alcohol cocktail. The patient had a history of smoking and genetic testing revealed the presence of hereditary thrombophilia. The article highlights the importance of considering alternative causes of acute coronary syndrome in young patients, such as thrombophilia, illicit drug use, and coronary vasospasm. It also explores the potential role of energy drinks in causing acute coronary syndrome by affecting platelet aggregation and endothelial function. The article emphasizes the need for individualized treatment based on underlying diseases and the extent of the coronary thrombus. [Extracted from the article]
