A temporary pacing electrode caused a loud systolic sound and apical thrill in a patient with acute myocardial infarction. Removing the electrode resolved these heart murmur findings, indicating friction was the cause.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) management can involve temporary pacing electrodes.
  • Intracardiac devices can sometimes cause unexpected auscultatory findings.

Observation:

  • A patient with AMI presented with a loud systolic sound and apical thrill.
  • Doppler ultrasound ruled out structural cardiac abnormalities like septal rupture or significant valve regurgitation.

Findings:

  • The auscultatory abnormalities resolved completely upon removal of the temporary pacing electrode.
  • This suggests the mechanical friction between the electrode and intracardiac structures was the source of the observed sound and thrill.

Implications:

  • Physicians should consider mechanical artifact from intracardiac devices as a cause of unusual cardiac sounds.
