Key result
Cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction has a declining incidence but persistently high mortality, necessitating early diagnosis and timely surgical or interventional management.
Why the study?
Despite declining incidence with primary PCI and modern pharmacotherapy, mortality from cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction remains high.
Cardiac rupture remains a catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction with high mortality despite declining incidence, requiring early diagnosis and urgent surgical or interventional management.

Despite declining incidence with reperfusion, post-MI cardiac rupture mortality remains high; leaves open targeted prevention strategies.
Cardiac rupture is a catastrophic complication after acute myocardial infarction. With the widespread use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention and improved pharmacological treatment, the incidence of cardiac rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction is on the decline, but patient mortality remains high and remains a clinical problem that remains to be addressed. Cardiac rupture is classified according to the location of the rupture into ventricular free wall rupture , ventricular septal rupture and papillary muscle rupture. The aim of this review is to highlight key risk factors, clinical presentations and diagnostic findings of cardiac rupture that may contribute to the early diagnosis of mechanical complications and to review management strategies after cardiac rupture in recent years.
