Clinical variants of embolic myocardial infarction

Interest in embolic myocardial infarction is explained by both the severity of this disease and the complexity of clinical symptomatology, which often causes great diagnostic difficulties. Embolic myocardial infarction with a wide range of various symptoms is always a complication of some other, primary disease of the cardiovascular system, accompanied by the presence of embologic material. Evaluation of individual signs of the underlying disease and the associated complication in the form of an embolic infarction is sometimes very difficult.
