Abstract

This chapter describes and illustrates complications of acute myocardial infarction, including mechanical, arrhythmic, and embolic disturbances. Circulatory failure from severe left ventricular dysfunction or other mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction accounts for most fatalities. Mechanical complications include left ventricular failure with cardiogenic shock, cardiac free wall rupture, ventricular septal rupture, papillary muscle rupture, and right ventricular failure.
