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.

Snake bite envenomation is a common problem in tropical countries, especially in rural parts of India. We came across a 30 year old male who presented to the hospital after 4 hours with history of Russell’s viper snake bite developing acute non ST elevation myocardial infarction (MI). Myocardial infarction was confirmed by history of left sided chest pain radiating to left arm with diaphoresis and electrocardiographic changes with increased serum troponin levels. Myocardial infarction is a rare complication of snake bite hence case report.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v16i1.22401 J MEDICINE 2015; 16 : 46-47

St Segment

A patient in whom acute myocardial infarction developed during diclofenac-induced anaphylaxis is described. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is a rare complication of anaphylactic reactions, but can occur even in patients with angiographically normal coronary arteries. Physicians should be aware of such a complication in order to diagnose it early and treat it properly. In the patient described here, according to the temporal relationship with diclofenac intake and the exclusion of coronary stenosis, it is probable that diclofenac caused the symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Kounis syndrome due to diclofenac. The patient’s recovery was uneventful.

Abstract Background Shoulder pain (SP) may originate from both musculoskeletal and visceral conditions. Physiotherapists (PT) may encounter patients with life-threatening pathologies that mimic musculoskeletal pain such as Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). A trained PT should be able to distinguish between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal or visceral origin aimed at performing proper medical referral. Case presentation A 46-y-old male with acute SP lasting from a week was diagnosed with right painful musculoskeletal shoulder syndrome, in two successive examinations by the emergency department physicians. However, after having experienced a shift of the pain on the left side, the patient presented to a PT. The PT recognized the signs and symptoms of visceral pain and referred him to the general practitioner, which identified a cardiac disease. The final diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction. Conclusion This case report highlights the importance of a thorough patient screening examination, especially for patients treated in an outpatient setting, which allow distinguishing between signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal from visceral diseases.
