Catheterization Procedure

We report a 61-year-old patient who suffered from a type A aortic dissection that mimicked an acute inferior myocardial infarction. During a routine cardiac catheterization procedure, diagnostic catheters can be inserted accidentally into the false lumen. Invasive cardiologists should keep this complication in mind.

Acute Inferior Myocardial Infarction

This article illustrates a patient who presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction with only isolated ST segment elevation in Lead III. Brief review on the electrocardiographic interpretation was discussed. Early recognition and management is the key to prevent morbidity and mortality.

Introduction. Double heart rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction with high mortality. Case report. We presented a 67-year-old female patient with symptoms and signs of myocardial infarction, diagnosed with echocardiography, rupture of the septum, the presence of a thrombus and a small pericardial effusion. Soon after admission the patient died. Autopsy revealed tamponade and double myocardial rupture, free wall rupture and ventricular septal rupture, as a cause of death. Conclusion. This case highlights the need to evaluate patients with myocardial infarction, recurrent chest pain, echocardiographic signs of effusion and the presence of thrombus in the pericardium in terms of double rupture of the heart.
