title: Left ventricular free-wall rupture after acute myocardial infarction imaged by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
abstract: This manuscript describes a rare situation where after acute myocardial infarction a patient underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), which identified a previously undiagnosed rupture of the free wall of the LV, leading to successful surgical management.
