Abstract
The manifestations of cardiac mucormycosis may dominate the clinical picture of disseminated mucormycosis. These manifestations include myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, conduction system disease, valvular imcompetence and pericarditis. The development of such manifestations in a febrile compromised host with one or more predisposing factors should prompt consideration of disseminated mucormycosis in the differential diagnosis and initiation of appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
