title: [Usefulness of monitoring the mixed venous blood saturation (SvO2) in the diagnosis of heart rupture. A clinical case].
abstract: We describe a case report of acute left ventricular free wall rupture during acute myocardial infarction in a sedated and curarised patient. Continuous monitoring of SvO2 was very useful on early diagnosis.
