Previous studies of the incidence, natural history, pathogenesis and diagnosis of cardiac rupture are presented, and 20 additional cases described. Progressive cardiorrhexis after myocardial infarction causes death in possibly more than 25,000 persons a year in the United States, and more frequent antemortem diagnosis is needed. Suggestions for future clinical and experimental studies are described and possible means of early diagnosis and therapy are outlined.
本文介绍了以往关于心脏破裂的发病率、自然病程、发病机制及诊断的研究，并描述了另外20例病例。在美国，心肌梗死后进行性心脏破裂每年可能导致超过25000人死亡，因此需要更频繁地进行生前诊断。文中描述了对未来临床和实验研究的建议，并概述了早期诊断和治疗的可能方法。
