Ventricular septal defect due to myocardial infarction.
This dramatic and ominous complication usually occurs between the third and 14th day after acute myocardial infarction. The size of the defect varies from a pinhole to 4 cm. The sudden appearance of a loud systolic murmur, with or without a thrill, is often accompanied by rapid hemodynamic deterioration. This event must be differentiated from rupture of a papillary muscle with mitral regurgitation. If intensive medical treatment is ineffective, an attempt at surgical repair is indicated.

Giant cell arteritis and blindness.
The etiology of giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis, cranial arteritis) is still obscure. Polymyalgia rheumatica is probably a stage of the same disease. It causes systemic and localized symptoms, usually in patients older than 55 years, and is not uncommon as a cause of loss of vision. The sedimentation rate is unusually high. The diagnosis is defintively established by biopsy. The response to steroid therapy is dramatic.
