Abstract
Coronary artery septic embolisation resulting in acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. Diagnosis requires high clinical suspicion, echocardiography, coronary angiography and cultures of peripheral blood and/or embolic material. Optimal therapy is unknown. We report a case of 27 yr old male who had recently been diagnosed with IE later presented with AMI.
