  • Title: Dissecting intramyocardial haematoma diagnosed by contrast echocardiography.
    Author: Aggeli C, Lampropoulos K, Giannopoulos G, Pitsavos C, Stefanadis C.
    Journal: Hellenic J Cardiol; 2010; 51(2):166-9. PubMed ID: 20378520.
    Abstract:
    Intramyocardial dissecting haematoma is a rare form of cardiac rupture that can occur as a complication following acute myocardial infarction or during the remodelling process. It is usually caused by a haemorrhagic dissection among the spiral myocardial fibres and needs urgent surgical treatment. Here we report the case of a 67-year-old man with indications of a previous infarction, in whom a dissecting intramyocardial haematoma was identified using contrast echocardiography.
