A rare complication of left ventricular rupture--right ventricular intramyocardial dissection with left-to-right shunting.
Left ventricular (LV) rupture is an uncommon catastrophic complication post myocardial infarction. We describe 2 rare cases of LV rupture complicating inferior ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) causing right ventricular (RV) intramyocardial dissection with left-to-right shunting.
