Article Synopsis
- - Left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) and interventricular septal rupture (VSR) can occur after a heart attack (AMI) and when they happen together, it's known as double myocardial rupture (DMR), with extremely low survival chances (only 0.3% occurrence rate).
- - A 57-year-old male presented with a serious heart condition five days after chest pain, diagnosed with a STEMI and DMR; he underwent emergent surgery, including a mitral valve replacement, and faced significant postoperative challenges.
- - Remarkably, he recovered well over 66 days in the hospital, returning home after 88 days, thanks to his resilience, supportive family, and effective teamwork among medical
An Intramyocardial Lipoma Mimicking Post-infarction Fatty Changes: Discussion of Key Distinguishing Imaging Findings and Clinical Implications.

Cardiac lipomas are benign primary cardiac tumors that are most often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice when aiming to characterize these tumors. A minority of cardiac lipomas are intramyocardial, which, when combined with the much more common post-infarction fatty metaplasia, makes diagnosing these lipomas very challenging.

Introduction And Objective: We performed a collective analysis of a dedicated national post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) registry to further elucidate controversial areas of this clinical entity's surgical treatment.
Methods: A descriptive statistical analysis was carried out and cumulative survival using the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate logistic regression of risk factors for 30-day mortality are presented.
Results: Median survival of the cohort (n=76) was 72 months (95% CI 4-144 months).

Coronary reperfusion therapies have led to a reduction in the incidence of mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the associated mortality of these complications has remained high. Ventricular septal rupture is the most common mechanical complication after myocardial infarction and occurs in approximately 0.21% with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and in 0.
