An 87-year-old woman presenting with myocardial infarction and ST-segment elevation in the electrocardiogram suffered from pericardial effusion due to left ventricular rupture.

This case shows that even etiologically unclear and small-sized myocardial infarctions can cause life-threatening mechanical complications.
