Mechanical Complications of Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: Complications of acute myocardial infarction are different and life threatening. Prompt diagnosis and therapy are essential. In this, chapter we will analyse mechanical complications, such as ventricular free wall rupture, ventricular septal defect, papillary muscle rupture, ischaemic mitral regurgitation, left ventricle aneurysm, and cardiogenic shock.

“…11) Mechanical complications were defined as any spontaneous rupture of the myocardium following a myocardial infarction and were classified as a ventricular free wall rupture, ventricular septal rupture, or pupillary muscle rupture type, according to the area where the rupture occurred, and the detailed definition of each has been previously reported. 17) Echocardiography was performed upon admission for the STEMIs and when a mechanical complication was suspected at the discretion of the attending physician. The laboratory data were obtained upon admission and every 3 hours until the CK value peaked out.…”

“…We recently reported that even if patients who suffered from a mechanical complication were at a high surgical risk, if they were not particularly frail, surgical intervention improved the 30-day mortality. 17) Therefore, aggressive surgical intervention may lead to a mid-term improvement in the prognosis of the CS (+) CCLL (−) group. From another viewpoint, the prescription rate of an OMT at discharge was as high in the CS (+) CCLL (−) group as in the CS (−) groups, and the myocardial damage reflected by the peak CK level was not as large as that in the CS (+) CCLL (+) group (Table I).…”

“…Several studies had found that inferior MI tend to have worse outcome and higher mortality rate than other locations as it was correlated to complex type of VSD. This type could lead to extensive hemorrhage 10,36 . It is confirmed that mortality risk is higher for patients with inferior-basal defects than for those with anterior-apical defects.…”
