We describe a patient with a subarachnoid hemorrhage that presented with electrocardiographic evidence of transmural myocardial infarction. The patient was found to have normal coronaries and on autopsy revealed generalized myocytolysis with no evidence of transmural myocardial infarction. This case

The decision to administer thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction depends on clinical presentation and characteristic ECG findings of acute injury. Inappropriate initiation of thrombolysis may occur when other clinical entities mimic myocardial infarction both clinically and electrocar
We describe two cases of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and development of ARDS in patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with stenting in whom Abciximab (ReoPro TM ) was used in combination with other agents interfering with the hemostatic mechanism.

The clinical implications of hemorrhagic versus nonhemorrhagic infarcts are currently unclear. Our study suggests that hemorrhage may not simply be a bystander but an active contributor to adverse left-ventricular remodeling following acute myocardial infarction.
