Re: External and Internal View of a Ruptured Heart
Rupture of the heart is most commonly seen in the first week after an infarct, due to weakening of the cardiac wall, when the granulation and formation of a fibrotic scar happens. In an obsolete infarct the fibrous scar is tense, with low elasticity, and so a cardiac aneurysm may form which could be followed by a rupture if left untreated.
