INTRODUCTION Double heart rupture is a rare complication of acute myocardial infarction with high mortality. CASE REPORT We presented a 67-year-old female patient with symptoms and signs of myocardial infarction, diagnosed with echocardiography, rupture of the septum, the presence of a thrombus and a small pericardial effusion. Soon after admission the patient died. Autopsy revealed tamponade...

cardiac rupture, particularly rupture of the left ventricular wall, has a very high mortality rate. in this occasion, even if injured patients being alive when carried to the hospital, many of them will die due to following possible reasons: severe bleeding, cardiac tamponade, wasting time for routine and usual diagnostic procedures or transferring the injured to other hospital equipped for car...

RUPTURE of the free wall of the heart has been reported to be the cause of death in 4-13% of fatal cases of acute myocardial infarction.' The incidence of this fatal complication is second only to cardiogenic shock and arrhythmias as a cause of death.2 Recent success with acute revascularization in the surgical management of cardiogenic shock, similar success with infarctectomy and direct repai...

ATRIAL rupture of the heart is a dramatic event which leads inevitably to death. This paper reports the only case of atrial rupture among 5,900 autopsies at the Albany Hospital and summarizes the pertinent literature on atrial rupture as to etiology, diagnosis, pathologic physiology, sex, age, and treatment. A total of 79 cases of atrial rupture has been collected from the literature, classifie...

SINCE the first description of rupture of the heart by William Harvey in 1647, this dramatic termination of life has attracted the attention of clinicians and pathologists alike. The anatomist Morgagni,' whose own life ended at the age of 79 with this disease, collected 10 cases in 1765. By 1928, 734 cases had been culled from the world literature by Davenport2 and subsequently many more review...
