Abstrakt:	Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis, characterised by sterile vegetations, is commonly caused by systemic lupus erythematosus and is known to be complicated with embolic cerebrovascular disease. Embolic myocardial infarction with non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is extremely rare. We report a case of ventricular fibrillation arrest from presumed coronary embolisation in non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis. While there are no standardised guidelines on the management of embolic myocardial infarction in endocarditis, it requires a multidisciplinary approach unique for every encountered clinical scenario.
