Fatal Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture Complicating Acute Myopericarditis
This is a case of a 59-year-old man presenting with myopericarditis. Over a 2-week period, he developed progressive symptoms and worsening pericardial effusion, leading to cardiac tamponade. Pericardiocentesis revealed hemopericardium, and multidetector computed tomography angiography showed left ve...

| description | This is a case of a 59-year-old man presenting with myopericarditis. Over a 2-week period, he developed progressive symptoms and worsening pericardial effusion, leading to cardiac tamponade. Pericardiocentesis revealed hemopericardium, and multidetector computed tomography angiography showed left ventricular free wall rupture. The patient collapsed abruptly, and autopsy confirmed the findings. |
