Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is a rare and devastating complication of acute myocardial infarction. Early detection, assessment of the hemodynamic impact, and illustration of the pathophysiological context are crucial functions of echocardiography in decision-making for intensive management and reparative intervention. To evaluate this entity, echocardiography exhibits two strengths: its bedside nature and its multiple modalities. This document reviews the comprehensive use of echocardiography in the study of post-infarction VSR.
