Relation of left ventricular free wall rupture and/or aneurysm with acute myocardial infarction in patients with aortic stenosis.

Relation of left ventricular free wall rupture and/or aneurysm with acute myocardial infarction in patients with aortic stenosis. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2017 Apr;30(2):161-162 Authors: Sheikh IN, Roberts WC Abstract This minireview describes 6 previously reported patients with left ventricular free wall rupture and/or aneurysm complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with aortic stenosis. The findings suggest that left ventricular rupture and/or aneurysm is more frequent in patients with AMI associated with aortic stenosis than in patients with AMI unassociated with aortic stenosis, presumably because of retained elevation of the left ventricular peak systolic pressure after the appearance of the AMI.
