Abstract
Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare and lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction. Case Report: A 56 year old male following acute myocardial infarction (MI) was discovered to have ventricular septal (VS) rupture. Cardiac echocardiography (ECHO) confirmed the VS rupture. Conclusion: Usually MI is diagnosed by electrocardiography but in case of any physical finding we must do an cardiac ECHO. This case emphasizes the importance of echocardiography following an acute MI.
Keywords : Echocardiography, Electrocardiography, Myocardial Infarction, Ventricular Septum, Ventricular Septal Rupture.
