We report a case of a 55 year-old female with chronic renal failure who received routine haemodialysis and suffered from acute myocardial infarction of inferior wall. Based on coronary angiogram, transoesophageal echocardiography, and autopsy,coronary embolisation with vegetations in the course of infective endocarditis was identified as a rare cause of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
