Abstract

Despite recent improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, infective endocarditis (IE) is still associated with high in-hospital mortality, ranging from 16% to 25%, and a high incidence of systemic embolic events, ranging from 13% to 49%. Systemic embolic events affect mostly central nervous system, spleen, and kidney whereas coronary circulation localization is seen rarely. In this report, we describe a young case of mitral valve endocarditis which caused acute myocardial infarction and death as a result of coronary artery emboli.

Özet

Tanı ve tedavideki gelişmelere rağmen infektif endokardit (İE) halâ %16-25 gibi yüksek hastane içi mortalite ile sey­ret­mektedir. %13-49 oranında da sistemik embolik olaylar görülmektedir. Sistemik emboliler özellikle santral si­nir sistemi, dalak ve böbreği etkilerken koroner dolaşımın tutulumu oldukça seyrek görülür. Bu yazıda, koroner arter em­bolisi sonucu gelişen akut miyokard infaktüsü nedeniyle kaybedilen, mitral kapak endokarditli genç bir olgu su­nul­maktadır.
