May support echocardiography for suspected post-MI rupture; leaves open prospective validation of outcomes.
In this report, we focus on the specific complications of acute myocardial infarction that are associated with rupture of the myocardium and for which two-dimensional and Doppler color flow echocardiography expedites accurate diagnosis for prompt treatment, including surgical repair, which can be crucial to survival in such cases.
