Cardiac rupture is an uncommon but catastrophic mechanical complication after acute myocardial infarction associated with an exceedingly high mortality. We report the case of a 64-year-old man who presented with a subacute biventricular rupture after acute inferior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
