An electronic order set for acute myocardial infarction is associated with improved patient outcomes through better adherence to clinical practice guidelines.

Background: Adherence to evidence-based recommendations for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unsatisfactory.

Objective: Quantifying association between using an electronic AMI order set (AMI-OS) and hospital processes and outcomes.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Acute Myocardial Infarction due to Coronary Artery Embolism in a Patient with a Tissue Aortic Valve Replacement.

Acute occlusive embolism to the coronary arteries resulting in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is an uncommon occurrence. Although cases of patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valves resulting in this phenomenon have been reported in the setting of inadequate anticoagulation, reported cases resulting years after tissue aortic valve replacement (AVR) are rare. We report the case of a 50-year-old man who underwent a tissue AVR four years earlier and presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
