Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report the case of an intramyocardial abscess caused by mucormycosis that arose after cardiac operation. Several causes of immunosuppression in a 71-year-old woman were exacerbated after she underwent coronary revascularization. Before she died of multiple organ system dysfunction, a variety of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, as well as complete heart block, developed, but the cause was not clear until autopsy revealed a large septal myocardial abscess due to mucormycosis. |
