Fatal acute left ventricular outflow obstruction due to interventricular septal haematoma--diagnosis by transoesophageal echocardiography.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The pathophysiology of myocardial infarction (MI) may differ depending on whether it occurs early or late in life. We tested the hypothesis that risk factor pattern differs according to the age at MI. METHODS:We performed a matched case-control study in the population-based Malmö Preventive Project (n = 33 ...
