Key result
Conservative management of a large apical intramyocardial dissecting hematoma post-AMI yields successful clinical recovery.
Why the study?
Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma after acute myocardial infarction is a rare form of subacute cardiac rupture with variable and poorly documented management.

Conservative management can be a safe and effective approach for intramyocardial dissecting hematoma following acute myocardial infarction in hemodynamically stable patients.

May support conservative management in stable post-MI intramyocardial hematoma; hypothesis-generating from single case report.
Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare form of subacute cardiac rupture, resulting from hemorrhagic separation of helical fibers within the myocardium, which has been described in most studies as an incomplete cardiac rupture or a specific type of cardiac rupture. The management of myocardial dissection is variable and poorly documented, with clinical outcomes ranging from asymptomatic recovery to fatal cardiac events. We present here a case of myocardial dissection diagnosed by echocardiography.

Essaket et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma after acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Conservative treatment was evaluated on Clinical recovery and hospital discharge. Conservative management of a large apical intramyocardial dissecting hematoma following an acute myocardial infarction resulted in clinical and hemodynamic stability and successful hospital discharge.
