abstract: Out of 3673 patients with myocardial infarction treated between 1989 and 1998, 128 (54 males and 74 females) deceased due to left ventricle wall rupture (death rate: 18.5%). Thrombolytic therapy started to be used in 1992. It was administered in 36.0% patients with myocardial infarction in the years 1992-1998. Out of the patients deceased due to left ventricle wall rupture thrombolytic was carried out in 24.2%, predominantly in males (31.5%) as compared to females (18.8%). Left ventricle wall rupture during acute myocardial infarction occurred mainly in females (57.7%), in patients with first infarction (89.8%), in the case of anterior wall infarction (66.4%), hypertension (80.5%), in patients aged 61-80 and more (86.7%). Majority of the patients (83.6%) deceased because of this condition between 1 and 7 hospitalisation day, mainly during the first 48 hours (48.4%).
