Article Synopsis
- - A patient experienced an acute heart attack (myocardial infarction) and cardiogenic shock due to previously undetected infection of a bioprosthetic aortic valve (endocarditis) without any blocked coronary arteries.
- - The doctors found that the heart issue was most likely caused by external pressure from an abscess around the valve, which was later confirmed during an autopsy.
- - This case highlights the importance of considering coronary artery compression as a possible cause in patients with heart issues related to infective endocarditis, even though it's rare.
