  • Title: Acute inferior myocardial infarction complicated by rupture into the coronary sinus: diagnosis by two-dimensional echocardiography.
    Author: Kemp WE, Shipley WR, Byrd BF.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 1996; 9(6):901-5. PubMed ID: 8943457.
    Abstract:
    Ventricular rupture is a catastrophic, often fatal complication of myocardial infarction. We present a unique case of left ventricular rupture into the coronary sinus that was diagnosed by two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography in a patient with a recent inferior myocardial infarction. The echocardiographic findings essential to diagnosis were subsequently confirmed at autopsy and are reviewed in detail.
