Immediate, early, or delayed acute pulmonary edema (associated with papillary muscle rupture), congestive heart failure (CHF; associated with ventricular septal rupture), and hypotension (associated with free-wall rupture) are the cardinal manifestations of myocardial rupture following blunt chest trauma.
To assess the incidence and to evaluate the potential predictors of myocardial rupture post-MI, we evaluated the incidence of myocardial rupture in patients with high-risk MI complicated by left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, heart failure (HF), or both enrolled in the VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion (VALIANT) trial. 1 of 5.
