Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in a 72 years old patient with myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation

The study presents a case of a 72-year-old patient who developed heparin-induced thrombocytopenia during hospitalization for non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The coexistence of both conditions poses a significant problem regarding treatment in such patients. The authors discuss the management used and current standards of care in the course of this disease.
