Key result
A 64-year-old woman with an apical ventricular septal rupture complicating a myocardial infarction received only medical therapy due to socioeconomic constraints and ultimately died from decompensated heart failure.
Why the study?
Ventricular septal rupture is a high-mortality mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction, but access to definitive correction remains limited in many developing countries.

This case report highlights the fatal natural history of uncorrected post-infarction ventricular septal rupture and the challenges of healthcare access in developing countries.
Ruptura mezikomorovĂŠho septa (ventricular septal rupture, VSR) pĹedstavuje jednu z moĹžnĂ˝ch mechanickĂ˝ch komplikacĂ po akutnĂm infarktu myokardu (AIM). I kdyĹž se s nĂ nelze setkat Äasto, je spojena se zvýťenou mortalitou. U vÄtĹĄiny pacientĹŻ lze pozorovat aktivnĂ klinickĂŠ projevy, u menĹĄĂho procenta z nich vĹĄak mĂsto toho dochĂĄzĂ k dalĹĄĂmu tichĂŠmu rozvoji s nĂĄstupem subakutnĂho srdeÄnĂho selhĂĄnĂ (heart failure, HF) nebo s dekompenzacĂ. Po stanovenĂ diagnĂłzy je naprosto nezbytnĂŠ urychlenÄ zahĂĄjit lĂŠÄbu. NutnĂĄ je lĂŠÄba farmakologickĂĄ (tzn. podĂĄvĂĄnĂ anti-ischemickĂŠ medikace vÄetnÄ lĂŠÄiv sniĹžujĂcĂch afterload) spolu s definitivnĂ korekcĂ, buÄ intervenÄnĂ, nebo chirurgickou, protoĹže neprovedenĂ korekce VSR vede neodvratnÄ k ĂşmrtĂ. Mnoho rozvojovĂ˝ch zemĂ nicmĂŠnÄ trpĂ omezenĂ˝m pĹĂstupem ke zdravotnĂ pĂŠÄi; vĂ˝sledkem je opoĹždÄnĂĄ nebo nedostateÄnĂĄ lĂŠkaĹskĂĄ pĂŠÄe. Popisujeme pĹĂpad starĹĄĂ Ĺženy s dekompenzovanĂ˝m HF v dĹŻsledku ruptury apikĂĄlnĂho septa, u nĂĹž se v dĹŻsledku nÄkolika problĂŠmĹŻ - nesouvisejĂcĂch se zdravotnĂ pĂŠÄĂ - provĂĄdÄla pouze farmakologickĂĄ lĂŠÄba a kterĂĄ uvedenĂŠ komplikaci nakonec podlehla.

Sánchez-Amaya et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (n=1). Medical therapy was evaluated on Mortality. A 64-year-old woman with an apical ventricular septal rupture complicating a myocardial infarction received only medical therapy due to socioeconomic constraints and ultimately died from decompensated heart failure.
