Resumen
MORENO, Jerson Quitian; RODRIGUEZ, Darwin Jhoan Ariza; RUGELES, Tatiana y LOPEZ, Laura Milena Bermúdez. Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction: common but potentially fatal. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.5, pp.505-509. Epub 02-Jul-2017. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2017.04.005.
Although the incidence of complications in acute myocardial has decreased since the percutaneous coronary intervention era, there is still a significant mortality rate. Ventricular septal rupture, acute mitral regurgitation, and left ventricular free wall rupture, are part of the spectrum of mechanical complications after an acute myocardial infarction. Surgical repair is the key to their treatment, but, as a bridge for the surgery, medical management helps to stabilise the patient.
