Acute inferior myocardial infarction in a patient with a prosthetic aortic valve and high international normalized ratio
نویسندگان
چکیده
ST elevation acute myocardial infarction in patients with a mechanical prosthetic valve is rare and usually due to inadequate anticoagulation. We present a case of acute inferior myocardial infarction in a patient with a prosthetic aortic valve and high international normalized ratio, which has not been reported previously.
