Cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction in presence of normal electrocardiogram.
نویسنده
چکیده
Cardiac rupture following acute myocardial infarction occurs most frequently in patients with electrocardiographic evidence of transmural infarction. Unusual presentations of cardiac rupture need immediate recognition to enable successful surgical treatment. An unusual case is presented of cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction despite a normal electrocardiogram prior to the rupture.

The prolongation of QT-interval dispersion increases the risk of coronary heart disease, ventricular arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death in patients with myocardial infarction. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of QT-dispersion in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Meth...
