The reliability of electromechanical dissociation (EMD) in diagnosing acute left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) was assessed in 479 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). EMD was the mechanism of death in 193 patients, 140 without heart failure (group A, 74%), and 53 with heart failure (group B, 26%). Autopsies performed on 121 patients with EMD showed LVFWR in 81 (95%)...
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM) is a rare condition whose histologic hallmark, the multinucleate giant cell, is of debated origin (monocytic v myogenic). We report the case of a 46-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of ulcerative colitis who rapidly deteriorated and died as the result of refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
