Triple cardiac rupture

Triple cardiac rupture.

Left ventricular free wall rupture and acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation are nowadays rare, but still potentially lethal mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of a sequential left ventricular free wall rupture, anterolateral papillary muscle disruption, secondary severe mitral regurgitation and subsequent posteromedial papillary muscle head rupture in a...

Traumatic triple tendon rupture in secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Survival after subacute cardiac rupture.

A 43-year-old man collapsed suddenly, with pericardial tamponade, seven weeks after an inferior myocardial infarction. Pericardiocentesis disclosed very heavily blood stained fluid. Left ventricular angiography 10 days later showed a left ventricular aneurysm. At operation a left ventricular false aneurysm was resected and the patient recovered uneventfully.

[Cardiac rupture during exercise testing].

Cardiac rupture during stress testing is uncommon and rarely reported, with less than ten cases described in the scientific literature. We present a patient with left ventricular free wall rupture one week after a nontransmural acute myocardial infarction (AMI), when undergoing conventional stress testing. A 70-year-old man, ex-smoker, with no other cardiovascular risk factors, was admitted in ...
