Abstract
A method for diagnosing and treating anticipated cardiac rupture and an apparatus for the same. Anticipated cardiac rupture is diagnosed by examining one or more of several predictive symptoms, including pericarditis, repetitive unprovoked emesis, restlessness and agitation, abnormal ECG ST segments and T waves, and abrupt hypotension and bradycardia. The treatment includes the adhesion of a mesh patch to the myocardium by introducing the patch into the pericardia sac through an endoscope, applying the patch to the myocardium using a pair of graspers, and adhering the patch to the myocardium by applying a cyanoacrylate glue to the patch.
