Key result
Conservative management of massive LV intramyocardial dissecting hematoma yields clinical improvement with no 6-month extension.
Why the study?
Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma is a rare and diagnostically challenging complication of myocardial infarction with limited guidance on management strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Intramyocardial dissection is a rare complication of myocardial infarction, trauma, and percutaneous intervention. It is usually caused by hemorrhagic dissection among the spiral myocardial fibers. We hereby report the case of a patient with left ventricular intramyocardial dissection who presented with acute decompensated heart failure. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)

Kumar et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left ventricular intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (n=1). Conservative management was evaluated on Symptomatic improvement and hematoma extension. Conservative medical management of a massive left ventricular intramyocardial dissecting hematoma resulted in clinical improvement to NYHA class II with no hematoma extension at 6 months.
