RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Signs of complication of acute myocardial infarction Intractable pulmonary edema may occur with papillary muscle rupture (mitral regurgitation) or ventricular septal rupture (left to right shunt).
{"Image DocumentName": "RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION", "Image ImageDescription": "Signs of complication of acute myocardial infarction. Intractable pulmonary edema may occur with papillary muscle rupture (mitral regurgitation) or ventricular septal rupture (left to right shunt). Enlarged cardiac silhouette may be caused by pericardial effusion. Abnormal cardiac contour may be a sign of true (bulge of the anterolateral or apical regions) or false (bulge of the posterior or diaphragmatic regions) aneurysms. False left ventricular aneurysm complicating myocardial infarction. Frontal (left) and lateral (right) radiographs show left retrocardiac density (arrow) on the frontal view and large posterior evagination (arrowheads) of left ventricular contour on the lateral view. Large size and posterior location are characteristics of false aneurysm.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
