VENTRICULAR SEPTAL RUPTURE AFTER ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Abstract
Ventricular septal rupture
(VSR) following acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) is a rare complication. It produces
progressive hemodynamic instability
which may be fatal. This is a case
study of a patient who had developed
VSR following anterior wall MI post
thrombolysis, With a typical natural history.
