[Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction].
Rupture of the left ventricular myocardium during the course of an acute myocardial infarction may affect the free wall, the interventricular septum, or the papillary muscles. When a rupture occurs, it is referred to as a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. All mechanical complications may lead to cardiogenic shock. However, the location of the rupture can often be suspected...
متن کاملMechanical complications following acute myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVE To outline the outcome and management of patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting with mechanical complications such as post-infarction ventricular septal defect, mitral regurgitation and left ventricular rupture. METHODS The retrospective study, conducted in September and October, 2010 at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, included cases from January 1990 to Dec...
متن کاملSequential development of multiple mechanical complications of myocardial infarction.
A71-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension and chronic renal failure presented to the emergency room with chest discomfort and dyspnea for 12 hours. The findings of the ECG (Figure 1) showed acute inferolateral ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The first troponin-I, creatine phosphokinase, and creatine kinase (CKMB) measurements were 19.3 ng/mL, 575U/L, and 68.6 ng/mL, re...
متن کاملSuccessful Management of Mechanical Complications Following Acute Myocardial Infarction
Rupture of the heart as a complication of myocardial infarction is one of the most common causes of in-hospital mortality. Rupture of the free wall of the ventricle or interventricular septum has a poor prognosis when treated conservatively. So, rupture of the heart after infarction requires prompt diagnosis and early surgical repair despite the high overall incidence of early operative mortali...
متن کاملComplications of Acute Myocardial Infarction
For the past 20 years, the in-hospital mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction has significantly decreased to less than 10%. This reduction can be attributed mainly to the development of acute-phase treatment such as reperfusion therapy. However, cardiogenic shock and cardiac rupture dominate more than 70% of the causes of death. CCUs have made efforts to treat these problems whose mortal...
