In medicine generally as well as in individual medical specialties, there is a risk that the correct diagnosis will not be reached if only the complication of a disease is taken into account, especially if this complication is serious, and not considered as part of the whole picture. All of the available data must be considered if the patient is to be properly diagnosed and treated. Since cardiology focuses on cardiovascular diseases, cardiologists must bear in mind that what they encounter is often a complication of a more general disease. The article by Cengiz et al. published in this issue of the Journal draws attention to this need, presenting a small case series of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), the first manifestation of which was myocardial infarction (MI). The article highlights the need for careful assessment of blood cell count abnormalities in these patients, since appropriate hematological therapy is able to reduce their risk of thrombotic events in general and of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in particular. When MI occurs in a patient who does not have traditional risk factors, alternative etiologies should be investigated. These include hypercoagulable states, coronary vasospasm, coronary inflammation, anomalous coronary arteries, coronary dissection, and embolization.
