Acute Myocardial Infarction Associated With a Mobile Left Ventricular Thrombi.

ABSTRACT: The majority of acute coronary syndromes are caused by coronary artery thrombotic occlusions secondary to atherosclerotic plaque erosion or rupture. Coronary embolism is an important yet forgotten underlying cause of acute coronary syndrome. We present a case of a young patient who presented with ST elevation myocardial infarction suspected to be secondary to coronary embolization originating from a left ventricular thrombus.
