Atrial myxoma associated with inferior myocardial infarction.

Acute myocardial infarction is a rare complication of left atrial myxoma. We report the case of a 44-year-old man who suffered an acute inferior myocardial infarction and systemic embolization to the lower extremities and brain resulting from myxomatous embolization. This diagnosis should be considered in a young person presenting with systemic embolization and acute myocardial infarction.
