Abstract

An 85-year-old female presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. She went to the cardiac catheterization laboratory 3 days after presentation of symptoms. She received a bare metal stent to the LAD with restoration of flow. Her symptoms improved in terms of chest pain but her shortness of breath persisted. She was found to have a murmur on examination that was a holosystolic murmur.
