title: Subacute anterior wall myocardial infarction complicated by intramyocardial dissection.
abstract: Myocardial dissection is a rare but fatal complication of myocardial infarction requiring urgent surgical treatment to avoid complete rupture. We report a case of intramyocardial dissecting hematoma treated with supportive pharmacologic therapy for 9 months of follow-up without surgical intervention.
