Rupture of the left ventricular free wall, rupture of the interventricular septum, and acute mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle necrosis are three potentially lethal mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Acute myocardial infarction is myocardial necrosis resulting from acute obstruction of a coronary artery. Symptoms include chest discomfort with or without dyspnea, nausea, and/or diaphoresis. Diagnosis is by electrocardiography (ECG) and the presence or absence of serologic markers. Acute myocardial infarction is one of the leading causes of death in the developed world.
Acute bronchitis is a common clinical condition characterized by an acute onset but persistent cough, with or without sputum production.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops when the major blood vessels that supply your heart become damaged or diseased. Commonly used ICD-10 codes for CAD.
