# Myocardial Infarction Caused by Aortic Root Thrombus in a Patient With Antiphospholipid Syndrome

## TL;DR

A rare case of heart attack caused by a blood clot in the aortic root in a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome is reported.

## Contribution

Highlights aortic root thrombosis as a rare but critical complication of antiphospholipid syndrome.

## Key findings

- Aortic root thrombosis can lead to myocardial infarction in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome.
- Cardiac imaging is crucial for noninvasive evaluation of this condition.

## Abstract

Aortic root thrombosis is a rare but serious complication of antiphospholipid syndrome that can lead to myocardial infarction. Cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are essential for noninvasively evaluating myocardial infarction and aortic root thrombosis.
