Rupture of the left ventricular free wall is a dramatic complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and occurs in about ten percent of patients with fatal acute MI. However, there are limited reports about right ventricular free wall rupture due to MI. In this case report, a patient with isolated right ventricular rupture following MI that was visualised with real-time transthoracic echocardiography is discussed for the first time in the literature.
