Abstract
The recent increase in the number of cases of left ventricular free wall rupture being diagnosed before death and in the number of surgical repairs attempted is largely due to echocardiography. We report a case that highlights the value of echocardiography in the diagnosis and treatment of left ventricular free wall rupture following acute myocardial infarction.
