Article information

La comunicación interventricular es una de las complicaciones mecánicas posteriores al infarto agudo del miocardio que genera alta morbilidad y mortalidad. Luego del uso de trombolíticos esta complicación ha disminuido y ha hecho que esta entidad sea cada vez menos frecuente.

En este artículo se expone el caso de un paciente con síndrome coronario agudo sin terapia de reperfusión inicial, con posterior ruptura del septum interventricular, en quien se evidenció la utilidad de la ecocardiografía en el diagnóstico de dicha entidad.

Palabras clave:
infarto agudo del miocardio

ecocardiografía

Interventricular communication is a one of the mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction that generates high morbidity and mortality. After the use of thrombolytics this complication has decreased and has made it increasingly less frequent.

This article presents the case of a patient with acute coronary syndrome without initial reperfusion therapy, with subsequent rupture of the interventricular septum, in whom the use of echocardiography in the diagnosis of this entity evidenced its usefulness.

Keywords:
myocardial acute infarction
ventricular septal defect
