title: [The mechanisms of the development and diagnosis of myocardial infarct in septic endocarditis].
abstract: Based on the clinical, instrumental and biochemical findings, out of 104 patients with septic endocarditis 11 (10.6%) were diagnosed to have myocardial infarction. It was provoked by coronary artery embolism, the covering of the coronary artery ostium by vegetation from the aortal cusp, a decrease of perfusion pressure in atherosclerosis stenosed coronary arteries because of marked insufficiency of the aortal cusp. In more than half the cases, the clinical picture of myocardial infarction was atypical, painless. Echocardiographic demonstration of the vegetations near the coronary artery ostium permits forecasting the possibility of its covering with vegetation, the threat of the occurrence of acute coronary insufficiency, which may appear an additional indication for heart valve replacement.
