[Anatomic features of postmortem experimental ruptures of the human heart].
Comparison of postmortem performed experimental cardiac ruptures with post-infarction lesions reveals uniformity of their localization. The ruptures are found to occur at places of a sharp change in the relief of the cardiac internal surface. These areas should be considered as concentrators of strain, promoting cardiac ruptures. In the left ventricle six concentrators of strain are revealed. They are: the place where the anterior part of the interventricular septum passes into the anterior wall of the left ventricle, the right edge of the papillary muscle, the left edge of the anterior papillary muscle, the left edge of the posterior papillary muscle, the right edge of the posterior papillary muscle, the place where the posterior part of the interventricular septum passes into the posterior wall of the left ventricle. Frequency of the experimental ruptures of the interventricular septum, under loading of the left ventricle, is demonstrated to depend on pressure in the right cardiac part.
