Echocardiographic manifestations of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture

B Silverman, G Kozma, M Silverman and S King

The echocardiographic features of three patients with postinfarction ventricular spectal rupture are described. All patients showed a decreased or paradoxical motion on the ventricular septum, and two of the patients demonstrated an unusual motion of the tricuspid valve. There were no abnormalities in mitral valve motion. The echocardiogram can be helpful in the diagnosis of postinfarction ventricular septal rupture and can assist in distinguishing this condition from acute disruption of the mitral valve complex.
