Obesity-induced vena cava compression syndrome: a case report of a rare precipitant of a type 2 myocardial infarction in a patient with critical aortic stenosis.

We describe a case of suspected obesity-induced vena cava compression syndrome precipitating a type 2 myocardial infarction in a pre-load dependent patient with critical bicuspid valve aortic stenosis. This case highlights a potential haemodynamic consequence of morbid obesity in the supine position.
