Fatal myocardial infarction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with non-penetrating chest trauma.

Myocardial infarction as a result of injury to the coronary arteries is a rare complication of non-penetrating chest trauma. We report a case of fatal inferior wall myocardial infarction following traumatic injury to the right coronary artery, complicated by atrioventricular dissociation, in a patient with a combination of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and non-occlusive coronary artery disease.
