Role of echocardiography in diagnosis and management of complete papillary muscle rupture caused by myocardial infarction
Aim To evaluate the usefulness of echocardiography in the diagnosis of complete rupture of papillary muscle. Methods Transthoracic (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed with the ATL 3000 HDI Ultrasound Inc (Bothell, WA, USA) with a 2.5 MHz transducer and 5-7 MHz multiplan...
