“…In our extensive review of the literature, we screened over 800+ articles through several search engines to specifically review the incidence of cases of myocardial infarction that was found to be secondary from NBTE. Of the articles included in our review, there was a total of 24 cases of NBTE causing coronary emboli and ACS [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Of these cases, 12 were STEMI, five were NSTEMI, and seven were MI that was unspecified.…”

Most cases of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) tend to be related to malignancy or rheumatologic and autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) itself has been associated with increased atherosclerosis, coronary artery plaque formation, and endothelial damage. However, it is rare to see NBTE in RA, simultaneously presenting with the acute coronary syndrome and acute limb ischemia due to distant embolization. Here we present a case of a 46-year-old female presenting with chest pain and right leg numbness, found to have ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and occlusion of a peripheral artery due to embolization of vegetation present in the aortic valve. We also provide an extensive literature review of the relationship between NBTE and MI. One must be extra vigilant in managing these patients, especially if the size of vegetation is large as it has a tendency to embolize causing devastating complications.

Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is an uncommon entity that tends to be related to malignancy or rheumatological disorders. The diagnosis is complex and requires a high index of suspicion. It commonly causes recurrent emboli; however, coronary embolism remains an infrequently reported entity. Herein we report a unique case of sequential pulmonary embolism, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke associated with multi-valvular non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis. The cornerstone of management is treating the underlying cause and anticoagulation therapy. Surgical treatment should be considered in patients with acute heart failure secondary to valvular dysfunction and recurrent thromboembolism despite proper anticoagulation. We have performed an extensive literature search and found nine cases of established antemortem diagnosis of myocardial infarction secondary to non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis, and we reviewed them according to cause, treatment, and outcome.
