[Coronary atherosclerosis, coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction in autopsy cases. VII. Communication: Complications in myocardial infarctions (author's transl)]. 1977

W Böttger, and H Güthert, and F Vollmar, and L Müller

2393 cases of myocardial infarctions autopsied during the period from 1.1. 1951 until 31. 12. 1969 in our Institute were scored for aneurysm and rupture of the cardiac wall as well as for partietal thrombosis and endocardial fibrosis, and analysed concerning frequency and distribution of sex. Aneurysm of the ventricle walls was present in 23.94 per cent of myocardial infarctions. Most of the aneurysms were found in the posterior wall of the left ventricle. Callous infarctions showed more aneurysms than fresh myocardial lesions. A rupture was present in 31.82 per cent of acute aneurysms and in 4.53 per cent of old aneurysms. Parietal thromboses we found in 13.92 per cent of all infarctions. In 14.21 per cent of all myocardial infarctions endocardial fibroses were present. Parietal thromboses and endocardial fibroses were significantly most frequent in infarctions of the right ventricle.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D005260 Female Females
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
