In post MI complications, UW says papillary musle rupture is ass with regurgitant murmur with radiation KAPLAN says ventricular septal rupture is ass with regurgitant murmur and radiation which is correct........guys iam confused

i think so both are correct .... see it depends on which wall infarction is there .... if septum is involved in infarction there willl b rupture of septum ( very rarely ) and it causes MR or TR due to damage to mitral or tricuspid valve..... if inf wall infarction papillary muscle which holds chordie tendinae and mitral valve will cause MR in case of ant walll infarction ( right ventricle ) TR willl b post MI complication please correct me if i m wrong ....

iam sorry i over read ur reply actually anterior infarcts .......leads to septal rupture[v1,2,3] and left ventricular rupture[v2,3,4]. inferior wall infarcts.........leads to right ventricular infarction andpapillary muscle rupture
