Acute Myocardial Infarction in A Patient of Infective Endocarditis
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with a number of complications. Peripheral systemic embolism is a common and serious complication of infective endocarditis linked to migration of vegetation. Here we present a case of a 9 year old girl admitted with left hemiplegia due to right MCA thromboemobolism due to naïve aortic valve IE and ultimately expired due to an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) due to possible coronary embolism.
