[Ventricular rupture during acute myocardial infarction (author's transl)]. 1979

R Spiel, and M Dittel, and C Jobst, and E Kiss, and H Nobis, and H Prachar, and W Enenkel

In a series of 523 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 112 died; among these were 18 with rupture of the free wall of the left ventricle (HR) (group RU); two other cohorts were formed: one sample of all patients with acute (transmural) myocardial infarction (group KO) and another cohort of death of AMI in 1976 (EX). 1. patients with HR are significantly older than the KO group; there is no difference in age compared to the patients who died of AMI other than HR (group EX). 2. Women with AMI have a higher chance to die of HR than men. 3. The RU group has significantly more often clinical signs of congestive heart failure than the control group. 4. Cardiogenic shock is significantly more frequent in the RU-group than in the control group. 5. All deaths (EX + RU) have worse hemodynamic data than the control group (KO). 6. Elevated blood pressure (before and after AMI) could not be identified as a risk factor for HR in our patients. 7. In the course of AMI, death in pump failure occurs significantly later than heart rupture.
