  • Title: A Rare Case of Intramyocardial Dissecting Hematoma following Acute Myocardial Infarction.
    Author: Sarkar S, Majumder B, Ghosh R, Chakraborty S.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Echogr; 2023; 33(2):92-94. PubMed ID: 37772052.
    Abstract:
    Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) is a rare and very dangerous complication of myocardial infarction (MI) and percutaneous intervention. Hemorrhage inside the spiral fibers of the myocardium causes this type of dreaded complication. We have reported a case of IDH following acute anterior wall MI. The patient's electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in precordial leads. The serum troponin level was elevated. IDH should be considered a rare complication after acute MI. The patient may present with features of cardiogenic shock. A two-dimensional echocardiography may demonstrate this type of complication.
