متن کاملModerate pericardial effusion early after myocardial infarction: left ventricular free wall rupture until proven otherwise.
Pericardial effusion (PE) associated with myocardial infarction (MI) is considered to be associated with anterior ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI), with large infarcts, and when heart failure is present. When PE is associated with cardiac tamponade, it is usually due to cardiac rupture, hemorrhagic pericarditis, or aortic dissection involving the right coronary artery. However, the majority of P...
متن کاملContained 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...
