On admission to the emergency room (ER)The patient was in cardiogenic shock.
The electrocardiogram exhibited subtle ST-elevation in aVL.
The echocardiography yielded a cardiac tamponade.
40 min after admission to the ERAfter 490 mL of blood was evacuated by pericardiocentesis, his blood pressure improved to 104/62 mmHg.
His creatine kinase was 273 IU/L.
70 min after admission to the ERThe computed tomography revealed the postero-lateral myocardial infarction and left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR).
100 min after admission to the ERAn emergent coronary angiography revealed an occlusion of left circumflex-obtuse marginal artery. Then, a diagnosis of cardiac tamponade caused by an LVFWR was made.
160 min after admission to the ERThe patient was transferred to the regional cardiac surgery department to be performed emergent cardiac surgery.
12 days after the eventThe patient was transferred to our hospital to undergo cardiac rehabilitation.
36 days after the eventHe was discharged from our hospital and transferred to a regional hospital to continue cardiac rehabilitation.
1 year after the eventHe has remained well without any symptoms.
