I23.3: Rupture of cardiac wall without haemopericardium as current complication following acute myocardial infarction
You started getting problems soon after having a heart attack.
A heart attack involves parts of the heart not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. As a result, the affected heart tissue gets damaged or dies.
Various problems can occur after a heart attack.
When the heart muscle does not receive enough blood, the tissue can die off. As a result, a hole has formed in the wall of your heart.
The heart may no longer be able to pump the blood through the body so well. They may also lose consciousness as a result.
