Abstract
We report on a case of premature atherosclerosis in a patient with short stature, dysmorphic features, mild diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, Mönckeberg's sclerosis, and the general appearance of premature aging, compatible with the diagnosis of Werner's Syndrome. The patient was referred to us after suffering a myocardial infarction at the age of 26.
