Spontaneous rupture of three different chambers of heart found during autopsy, a case series

Abstract

Haemopericardium and death following spontaneous rupture of heart are not very uncommon. Various literatures till now have described cases of ventricular and atrial ruptures following either myocardial infarction or blunt trauma chest. This paper describes three different autopsy cases of heart wall rupture with haemopercardium, one each of left ventricular, right ventricular and left atrial ruptures.
