Ventricular Septal Rupture after Myocardial Infarction
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare but catastrophic mechanical complication following myocardial infarction. Despite advances in reperfusion therapy, VSR remains associated with high morbidity and mortality, requiring rapid diagnosis and urgent multidisciplinary management.
At Case Reports and Case Series in Cardiology Journal, we invite cardiologists, intensivists, and cardiac surgeons to share their clinical experiences in managing ventricular septal rupture after myocardial infarction through detailed case reports and case series.
Why This Topic Matters
VSR presents unique clinical challenges, often leading to cardiogenic shock and hemodynamic instability. Sharing real-world cases can:
-
Improve early recognition and diagnosis
-
Guide surgical and percutaneous intervention strategies
-
Enhance timing of repair decisions
-
Improve survival outcomes in high-risk patients
Clinical Features
-
Sudden hemodynamic deterioration after MI
-
New harsh systolic murmur
-
Signs of heart failure or cardiogenic shock
-
Left-to-right shunt physiology
Diagnostic Approaches
-
Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography
-
Cardiac catheterization and hemodynamic assessment
-
Cardiac MRI or CT in selected cases
Management Strategies
-
Hemodynamic stabilization (vasopressors, inotropes)
-
Mechanical circulatory support (IABP, ECMO)
-
Surgical repair (definitive treatment)
-
Percutaneous device closure in selected patients
Scope of Submissions
Case Reports and Case Series in Cardiology Journal welcomes:
-
