Abstract

The coronary embolism (CE) is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The most common cardiovascular disease linked to coronary embolism is atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite the acknowledgment of the entity, it is regarded an under-diagnosed cause of ACS, and there is uncertainty over the short and long term prognosis of these patients. In this case report, we aimed to provide information about the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient who presented with acute inferior myocardial infarction caused by coronary embolism.

Özet

Koroner emboli (KE), akut koroner sendromun (AKS) nadir görülen bir nedenidir. Koroner emboli ile ilişkili en yaygın kardiyovasküler hastalık atriyal fibrilasyondur (AF). Varlığının kabul edilmesine rağmen, AKS'nin yeterince teşhis edilmemiş bir nedeni olarak kabul edilir ve bu hastaların kısa ve uzun vadeli prognozu konusunda belirsizlik vardır. Bu olgu sunumunda, koroner emboli nedeniyle akut inferior miyokard enfarktüsü geçiren bir hastanın tanı ve tedavi süreci hakkında bilgi vermeyi amaçladık.
