Abstract :
This article showcases a young patient who presented with STEMI secondary to septic emboli due to endocarditis with Abiotrophia
Defectiva in the setting of a congenital bicuspid aortic valve. We aim to discuss current considerations for STEMI in young
individuals including embolism due to IE, especially in patients with known or suspected congenital heart valve disease.
