    Author: Lazar HL, Bernard SA.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2010 Sep; 25(5):518-9. PubMed ID: 20459454.
    Abstract:
    Acute papillary muscle rupture is usually associated with a myocardial infarction and involves the posteromedial muscle. We present a case of spontaneous rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle due to an isolated infarct of the papillary muscle in the absence of epicardial coronary artery disease.
