Factors related to cardiac rupture after acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

OCTOBER 7, 2024

BackgroundCardiac rupture (CR) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a fatal mechanical complication. The purpose of our study was to discover relevant risk factors for CR after AMI and in-hospital mortality from CR.MethodsIn this study, we enrolled 1,699 AMI cases from October 2013 to May 2020.
