Key result
Low mean blood pressure with IABP (OR 11.43), higher EuroSCORE II, higher Killip class, and shorter intervals to surgery strongly predicted mortality in post-MI ventricular septal rupture.

Odds Ratio: 11.43
p-value: p=0.001
The UNM Post-MI VSR Scoring Systems can help stratify patients into immediate surgery, optimal delay, or elective repair groups based on prognostic factors to optimize outcomes.
Malhotra et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in post myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal rupture (VSR) (n=55). Low mean blood pressure with intra-aortic balloon pump, higher EuroSCORE II, higher Killip class, and shorter surgical intervals was evaluated on Mortality (OR 11.43, p=0.001). Low mean blood pressure with IABP (OR 11.43), higher EuroSCORE II, higher Killip class, and shorter intervals to surgery strongly predicted mortality in post-MI ventricular septal rupture.
