Popis: We report the case of a young man presenting with chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope in whom transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography helped to diagnose anterolateral papillary muscle rupture. After cardiac catheterization (which confirmed the severe mitral regurgitation and showed two vessel coronary disease), mitral valve replacement was performed together with coronary bypass grafting.
