Ventricular septal rupture following myocardial infarction: Clinical, haemodynamic, angiographic profile and long-term outcome

Incidence and predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with ventricular septal rupture complicating acute myocardial infarction

“…This fact is attributable to a selection bias, since the previous study included only patients with AMI presenting late after VSR diagnosis. In addition, Harikrishnan and coworkers9 did not investigate the predictors of mortality, as we did.…”

“…In a previous report, Harikrishnan and coworkers9 followed up 28 patients with VSR complicating AMI referred to a tertiary centre 2–3 weeks after the diagnosis. The baseline features of these individuals were broadly comparable with those of patients reported here, although they had a lower mortality risk as compared with participants of our study.…”

“…Data on VSR complicating AMI are limited in India 9. Against this background, the aim of the current report was twofold: first, to determine the incidence and 30-day mortality of VSR complicating AMI in a contemporary series of Indians admitted to a tertiary medical centre; and second, to identify predictors of 30-day mortality.…”

Endovascular treatment of postinfarction ventricular septal defects

“…Недавние сообщения показа-ли, что время между инфарктом миокарда и развитием дефекта межжелудочковой перегородки укорачивает-ся. В настоящее время дефект межжелудочковой пере-городки развивается в течение 1-й недели после инфар-кта миокарда с более высокой частотой в первые 24 ч и на 3-5-е сутки [6][7][8].…”

“…Факторы риска: женский пол [5,6,10,11], артериаль-ная гипертензия, отсутствие предшествующих инфарк-тов миокарда либо стенокардии [7].…”
