When Does The Condition Of Thinning Of Heart Muscle With Heart Burst Prevail?
what is it called when the heart lining or muscle is too thin and the heart bursts?
Thu, 22 Aug 2013
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
These are colloquial terms –
Lining may mean the thin membrane covering the heart / Pericardium
Muscle thinning means the area is smaller than surrounding tissue
That is generally the muscle being replaced by scar tissue...
This usually happens from healing after a heart attack
Burst means it has given way – ruptured...
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
