Mechanical Complications Of MI: Papillary Muscle Rupture, Free Wall Rupture, Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm
Mechanical Complications Of MI: Papillary Muscle Rupture, Free Wall Rupture, Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm is organized by CardioVillage.
Publication date: July 11, 2018
Expiration date: July 10, 2024
Description:
Myocardial infarction may lead to profound weakening of the involved wall and disruption of the infarcted segment. Depending on the location of the rupture, a variety of mechanical complications can result.
Course Details:
In this course, you will learn:
• To describe the typical time course and clinical presentations of acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle rupture
• To define an appropriate diagnostic approach to the patient with a suspect acute mitral regurgitation complicating acute MI
• To describe the potential therapeutic strategies and time course for acute mitral regurgitation
• To list the potential consequences and complications of myocardial free wall rupture and ventricular pseudoaneurysm
Method and medium:
Learners participate in the interactive learning modules by correctly answering multiple choice questions dispersed throughout. Learners will be prompted to try again if a question is answered incorrectly. The course will open in a new tab – to exit the course, simply close that tab.
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
