    Abstract:
    A 63-year-old female was admitted because of cardiogenic shock due to complete rupture of the posterior papillary muscle. The diagnosis was made by echocardiography. She was treated successfully by an emergency replacement of the mitral valve. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are mandatory and life-saving in the case of complete papillary muscle rupture.
