Conclusion and results:
Coronary artery embolism is a rare and fatal cause of acute myocardial
infarction and has rarely been reported secondary to atrial fibrillation
in takotsubo cardiomyopathy patients. Early diagnosis and treatment play
a vital role in the prevention of short-term as well as long-term
post-myocardial infarction complications. Physicians and cardiologists
should have a low threshold for coronary artery embolism when
encountering shock patients with atrial fibrillation, as early
management prevents hazard complications.
