ABSTRACT

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is infrequent, characterized by complications associated to a hypercoagulability. The APS includes clinical characteristics such as arterial or venous thrombosis, coronary arteries disease, intracardiac thrombus formation, pulmonary hypertension, dilated myocardiopathy and cardiac valve disease, being the mitral valve the most affected followed by aortic and tricuspid. The diagnostic of APS is done through the detection of the antiphospholipid antibodies (APLA). Therefore we present a case of a male patient with ischemic cardiopathy secondary to a primary antiphospholipid syndrome.
