Experimental papillary muscle infarction

Papillary muscle rupture following myocardial infarction.

Papillary muscle infarction and cardiovascular outcomes

Methods We evaluated the images of 456 consecutive patients who underwent ce-CMR for the assessment of left ventricular function and viability. PMI (both anterolateral and postero-medial papillary muscles), ICM and NICM were assessed by visual assessment by interpreters blinded to clinical data. All patients had a LVEF ≤50%. ICM and NICM were determined by presence and pattern of hyper-enhancem...

Papillary Muscle Rupture after Acute Myocardial Infarction

Mitral regurgitation (MR) after myocardial infarction is a relatively common complication and its incidence is about 50%. One cause of MR after myocardial infarction is papillary muscle rupture, and this situation usually requires urgent surgical treatment. Since prognosis is favorable with early surgical intervention, early diagnosis of the underlying cause of mitral regurgitation is very impo...

Ruptured Papillary Muscle Following Myocardial Infarction with Long Survival

PONTANEOUS RUPTURE of a papillary muscle of the heart is a rare oceurreniee. Stevenson anid Turner' reported two eases in 6,000 autopsies and Davison2 found three cases in almost 14,000 autopsy examinations. Sanders et al.,3 in 1957, found 56 eases reported in the literature to which they added five cases of their owni. A few case reports have appeared since then,4-7 and Cooley et al.8 refer br...
