Contained Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture following Myocardial Infarction
Rupture of the free wall of the left ventricle occurs in approximately 4% of patients with infarcts and accounts for approximately 20% of the total mortality of patients with myocardial infractions. Relatively few cases are diagnosed before death. Several distinct clinical forms of ventricular free wall rupture have been identified. Sudden rupture with massive hemorrhage into the pericardium is...
متن کامل[Left ventricular free wall rupture after percutaneous coronary reperfusion following acute myocardial infarction].
Due to the elevated rate of mortality with which it is associated, left ventricular (LV) free wall rupture is a dreaded complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The incidence is especially high during the first 24 hours, after which it decreases progressively; beyond the fifth day post-AMI, this complication is uncommon. The onset is usually acute, in the form of cardiac tamponade, al...
متن کاملVentricular septal rupture after acute myocardial infarction.
Ventricular septal rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction with important hemodynamic consequences. Spontaneous closure is extremely rare. Without a rapid diagnosis and correction by surgical intervention, the short-term mortality of these patients is higher than 90%. We report the case of a patient with acute myocardial infarction and a ventricular septal rupture that was...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Size after Acute Myocardial Infarction
The distance from the midline to the left heart border measured in a standardized manner on calibrated chest roentgenograms was determined serially in 125 patients after acute myocardial infarction. This external left heart dimension (LHD) was compared to the normal value, and its prognostic value was assessed during early and late follow-up periods (average 10, range 2-31 months). Within 96 ho...
متن کاملLeft ventricular thrombus in acute myocardial infarction.
Catastrophic morbidity or mortality from cardiogenic cerebral embolism occurs in approximately 2000 cases each year in the Netherlands'. Left ventricular thrombus after myocardial infarction is a source of such emboli which is largely preventable by systemic anticoagulation. However, anticoagulants induce a bleeding risk and must be given only when the risk of embolism is increased''. Two-dimen...
