TL;DR

The case of a 76-year-old woman, with a history of smoking and dyslipidemia, who was admitted with acute heart failure associated with a holosystolic murmur, highlights the importance of early diagnosis with echocardiography, the role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in thrombus detection, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach in the management of mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction.

LATE DIAGNOSIS OF A POST-INFARCTION VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT: AN UNUSUAL PRESENTATION

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a rare and serious complication of myocardial infarction, usually occurring within the first few days after the acute event. We report the case of a 78-year-old woman who sustained an anterior myocardial infarction in June 2024 and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention of the m...

Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction with Anomalous Origin of the Right Coronary Artery, Myocardial Bridging and Fibro-Lipid Plaque.

We describe a 35-year-old male patient who had acute inferior myocardial infarction based on clinical signs and electrocardiographic abnormalities after experiencing sudden chest pain for 2 h. An abnormal origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left coronary sinus was discovered by emergency coronary angiogr...

ST-elevation myocardial infarction from left atrial myxoma embolization: A case report

Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary tumours of the heart. Left atrial myxomas can present with systemic embolic manifestations. We describe a case of a left atrial myxoma that presented as ST-elevation myocardial infarction presumed to be caused by embolism to the left circumflex artery. A 52-year-...

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Secondary to Aortic Root Thrombosis in a Patient With a Left Ventricular Assist Device

Aortic root thrombosis (ART) is a rare but serious complication of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support that can result in coronary artery occlusion. We present a 66-year-old man with a HeartMate 3 LVAD who presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Urgent coronary angio...

Heart transplantation for rapidly progressive dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by an inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm: a case report

Left ventricular (LV) aneurysm most commonly follows transmural myocardial infarction and is rarely described in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). When DCM and ischemic injury coexist, the presentation may be atypical and progression can be rapid. A 52-year-old man developed chest tightness and dyspnea after an...

Delayed treatment of acute inferior and right ventricular myocardial infarction resulting in interventricular septal dissection with multiple perforations after percutaneous coronary intervention: a case description

tissue. Reestablishing coronary blood flow, or reperfusion, is essential; however, paradoxically, it may also lead to increased irreversible myocardial injury and cellular necrosis (4). Due to the very limited regenerative capacity of the heart, injured myocardial cells cannot be effectively replaced. Patients may ther...
