Acute mitral regurgitation secondary to rupture of the papillary muscle, after acute myocardial infarction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Case report. Rev.Urug.Cardiol.

Acute mitral regurgitation from ruptured papillary muscle such, as complication of acute myocardial infarction, has decreased its incidence with myocardial coronary reperfusion strategies. The current pandemic (COVID-19) has generated an alert in the cardiology community due to the risk of late consultations in patients with acute coronary syndrome, with the consequences derived from a late reperfusion. We present the case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction who in evolution suffers this complication.

Keywords : Acute mitral regurgitation; Acute myocardial infarction; COVID-19.
