ABSTRACT
The case report of a newborn is described, who presented with an acute myocardial infarction with bad progress and death 31 hours after his birth in the Neonatology Department of "Tamara Bunke Bider" Gyneco-obstetrical Teaching Hospital of Santiago de Cuba. The clinical autopsy revealed a congenital defect of intramyocardial bridging of the left anterior descending coronary artery within 24 hours of onset of symptoms and cardiogenic shock as basic and direct causes of death, respectively.
