Overview

Inferior MI location and RV dysfunction were associated with higher mortality in postinfarction VSR; leaves open whether RV assessment should guide management.

Structured PICO

What are the clinical, hemodynamic, and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture?

P
Population
25 patients who suffered ventricular septal rupture (VSR) out of a prospective cohort of 1264 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction.
O
Outcome
Mortality/Survivalhard clinical

In patients with postinfarction ventricular septal rupture, mortality is higher following inferior compared to anterior MI, and is strongly predicted by combined right ventricular and septal dysfunction.
