| Popis: | Acute and subacute complications of myocardial infarction are often life-threatening and should be recognized by the astute sonographer. These include acute mitral valve disruption and consequent mitral regurgitation (flail mitral valve), ventricular septal defect, and free wall rupture (leading to either ventricular pseudoaneurysm, contained left ventricular rupture, or tamponade with hemopericardium). The echocardiographic manifestations of these emergencies are comprehensively covered in this chapter. |
