Abstract: | A 40-year-old woman with previous venous thrombosis in the lower limbs had recurrent myocardial infarction in the early puerperium. The only documented risk factor was an elevated level of plasma homocysteine, associated to a heterozygotic anomaly in the enzyme responsible for its metabolism, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. The case and approaches to treatment are discussed. |
