  • Title: Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction due to a huge floating thrombus mimicking a myxoma in the left atrium.
    Author: Kim MS, Park JH, Kang SK, Na MH, Lee JH, Choi SW, Jeong JO, Seong IW.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2009 Sep; 22(9):1085.e1-3. PubMed ID: 19733794.
    Abstract:
    Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction occurs when the blood supply to a coronary artery is completely interrupted. The most common cause of the abrupt occlusion of a coronary artery is the rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. However, embolisms from any sources can be another cause of abrupt coronary obstruction. The authors report a case of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction caused by a huge left atrial thrombus mimicking a myxoma.
