The echocardiographic diagnosis of rupture of a papillary muscle.

چکیده
The echocardiographic diagnosis of acute rupture of a papillary muscle is described. The pertinent findings included (1) decreased systolic motion of the posterior wall, (2) exaggerated septal motion, (3) left ventricular enlargement and pattern suggesting left ventricular diastolic overload, and (4) bizarre fluttering of posterior leaflet of the mitral valve in diastole, suggesting an unhinging of the mitral valvular apparatus. The echocardiogram is a useful noninvasive tool in the diagnosis of this often fatal complication of myocardial infarction.

Rupture of a papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve. Echocardiographic diagnosis.
Abnormal tricuspid valve structure and motion resulting from the rupture of a right ventricular papillary muscle were visualised by two dimensional echocardiography. These findings were confirmed at operation. Two dimensional echocardiography appears to be a satisfactory method for evaluating patients with tricuspid regurgitation of sudden onset with a view to surgery.

A rare complication of AMI is papillary muscle rupture (PMR), occurring in 1% of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Mitral regurgitation related to PMR occurs at a median of 1 day (ranging from 1-14 days) after onset of myocardial infarction. PMR tends to occur in those having a first time AMI and those without extensive collateral circulation. PMR involves posteromedial papillary...
متن کاملMassive mitral regurgitation secondary to acute ischemic papillary muscle rupture: the role of echocardiography.
Papillary muscle rupture is an infrequent but often fatal mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We report the case of an AMI complicated by the development of an abrupt cardiogenic shock due to the rupture of the head of the postero-medial papillary muscle with echocardiographic demonstration of severe mitral regurgitation due to flail posterior mitral valve leaflet. Aft...

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proved as an efficient treatment in patients with end stage Heart failure. Previous studies showed the beneficial long term effects of CRT on the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR). The aim of this study was to evaluate acute effects of CRT on severity of MR. Methods: This study was a double blind randomized trial performed from 1387 t...
متن کاملRuptured Papillary Muscle
RUPTURE of a papillary muscle is a rare complication of myocardial infarction.1 2 The combination of coronary artery disease with severe mitral regurgitation usually results in a rapid, deteriorating course. Not until 1948 was this diagnosis correctly made ante mortem.3 Sanders et al., in 1957, discussed 61 cases of rupture of a papillary muscle and pointed out the important clinical features o...
