Heart wall rupture after a false negative computed tomography coronary angiography

Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is considered to be the highest sensitivity, noninvasive test for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, with a negative predictive value of 97 to 99%. The case is presented of a ventricular free wall rupture after myocardial infarction, with a dela...

Sumario:Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) is considered to be the highest sensitivity, noninvasive test for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease, with a negative predictive value of 97 to 99%. The case is presented of a ventricular free wall rupture after myocardial infarction, with a delayed diagnosis due to a false negative CTCA result. We believe that this case highlights possible limitations of widening CTCA indications and the importance of experience in the correct interpretation of the test.
