transmural myocardial infarction

The patient was admitted to cardiac intensive care unit at a general hospital diagnosed for acute transmural myocardial infarction.

The causal role of coronary artery thrombosis in acute transmural myocardial infarction is well established.

True aneurysms include atherosclerotic, syphilitic, and congenital aneurysms, as well as ventricular aneurysms that follow transmural myocardial infarctions (aneurysms that involve all layers of the attenuated wall of the heart are also considered true aneurysms).

Rival diseases: These are the concurrent nosological forms in a patient, interdependent in etiologies and pathogenesis, but equally sharing the criterion of a primary disease (for example, transmural myocardial infarction and massive thromboembolism of pulmonary artery, caused by phlebemphraxis of lower limbs).
