Abstract
Cardiovascular events are the second most frequent cause of death in myelodysplastic syndromes(MDSs). 1-3 Furthermore, the management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), which includes both type I and type II ACS, is more difficult in patients with MDS because of the increased risk of bleeding owing to thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction.4 Type I ACS includes type I myocardial infarction (MI),comprising ST-elevation MI and non–ST-elevation MI, and unstable angina; and type II ACS comprises type II MI owing to a mismatch between myocardial oxygen supply and demand.5 Currently, no guidelines exist for the appropriate management of ACS in MDS.
