Snippet: Mechanical Complications of Acute Infarction

A recent JACC Seminar has 5 papers that discuss the various mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction, all of which can be evaluated with cardiac MRI.

These include

  1. Right ventricular infarct
  2. Severe mitral regurgitation
  3. Ventricular septal rupture
  4. Ventricular free wall rupture
  5. Left ventricular aneurysm.

This video discusses the CMR appearances of each of these complications with cases.
