Ventricular septal rupture with hemodynamically important left-to-right shunt, right ventricular myocardial infarction, transient type III atrioventricular block and the development of left ventricular aneurysm as a complication of sub-acute myocardial in

Ventricular septal rupture is a serious mechanical complication of myocardial infarction with important hemodynamic consequences. Without a rapid diagnosis and correction by surgical intervention, the short-term mortality of these patients is higher than 90%. We report the case of a patient with acute inferior myocardial infarction and a ventricular septal rupture with early diagnosis based on clinical examination and transthoracic echocardiography and postponed successful surgical correction.
