[Electrocardiographic changes during long-term monitoring in a case of cardiac rupture after myocardial infarction (author's transl)].

Electrocardiographic changes in long-term electrocardiogram are described in a patient with inferior myocardial infarction and cardiac rupture. In a monitoring period of more than seven hours, malignant arrhythmias could be diagnosed, which are not specific for cardiac rupture. During the last minutes, sinus bradycardia, slow nodal rhythm, and idioventricular escape rhythm could be diagnosed.
