Abstract
A patient is described who had both ventricular septal defect and then cardiac rupture with death within 24 hours of the onset of acute posteroinferior myocardial infarction. At autopsy he was found to have single-vessel disease involving the right coronary artery. Isolated disease of the right coronary artery can produce unexpected, fatal mechanical complications.
