  • Title: Fatal cardiac rupture: a case of subepicardial aneurysm after myocardial infarction.
    Author: Tanabe K, Sugamori T, Yoshitomi H, Asanuma T, Shimada T.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2000 Oct; 13(10):951-2. PubMed ID: 11029721.
    Abstract:
    We report a case in which 2-dimensional echocardiography established the diagnosis of a left ventricular subepicardial aneurysm that was followed by rupture and sudden death before surgery. Two-dimensional echocardiography is of great help in detecting this rare complication after myocardial infarction. Urgent surgical treatment is warranted for this condition.
