J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2002 Sep;15(9):1023-4. doi: 10.1067/mje.2002.122081.

Intramyocardial dissection is an uncommon complication of a myocardial infarction or blunt chest trauma created by a hematoma located between the layers of myocardial fibers. This report describes the clinical course, 2-dimensional, and 3-dimensional echocardiographic findings of an unusual case of the intramyocardial dissection.
