» Clinical Case Studies Presenting as Acute Coronary Syndrome

Although clinical presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) varies significantly, investigation to confirm the underlying cause of the symptoms can often reveal unusual causes of ACS, or indeed alternative diagnoses which initially present as ACS. As part of the ACS Forum in December 2020, CORONARY CONNECT member Dr. Miklos Rohla reviewed an unusual patient case study which presented initially as ACS.

His research is focused around the medical and invasive treatment of acute coronary syndromes, antithrombotic therapies in patients with coronary artery disease or atrial fibrillation, and control of risk factors such as hypertension or hyperlipidaemia. Main clinical areas of interest are interventional cardiology and intensive care medicine.
