Basically in so many words Candida is a "good guy" meaning it really is normal flora. When there is overgrowth or an imbalance in microorganisms thats the problem

  • http://www.clevelandclinic.org/heartcenter/pub/pr...
  • The most common mechanical complication following myocardial infarctions (MIs) include acute ventricular septal defect (VSD), papillary muscle rupture and free wall rupture
  • Risk factors for cardiac rupture includes first MI, small transmural MI, female sex, preserved LV function, hypertension, older age and poor collaterals
  • The most common findings include hypotension, syncope, and EMD.
  • Angiographically the infarct related vessel is usually the LAD or circumflex. The RCA is rarely the culprit vessel.

Three distinct clinical and pathologic forms of free wall rupture have been described.

These include: 1) sudden massive hemorrhage with sudden death (most common) occurring within 24 hours of infarct, 2) rupture through a necrotic area of myocardium with thrombus formation, and 3) hemorrhage into the pericardial space which is slow and repetitive usually through a pre-existing aneurysm with survival for several days



Although surgical intervention can be undertaken in selected cases of subacute rupture, most events are rapidly fatal. Once the diagnosis is made,

the patient should be taken urgently to the OR for open pericardial drainage and repair of the rupture. Patients with suspected free wall rupture should not undergo elective pericardiocentesis, which may dislodge thrombus that is keeping the patient from hemorrhaging further into the pericardial space.

If however the patient deteriorates into EMD then pericardiocentesis should be performed as a bridge to definitive therapy.
