Abstract
An acute myocardial infarction occurred in a 6-year-old child with dilated cardiomyopathy. This caused severe hemodynamic deterioration that led to a fatal outcome. Autopsy revealed diffuse myocardial atrophy without cell infiltrate, normal epicardial coronary arteries, and a massive healed anteroapical infarction. Coronary embolism or spasm could not be ruled out as the cause of the infarction.
