It seems, then, that a person dies from a broken heart, not in young adult life from a great grief or emotion, but usually in old age, on account of diseased coronaries...The condition was first described...by William Harvey...it is far from clear why following coronary thrombosis...some infarcts should rupture and others go on to organization... The prognosis of a complete rupture is...invariably bad, and no method of treatment has been found to be of any use...As regards surgical intervention, in view of the diseased state of the myocardium, it is hardly conceivable that suture would be of any use, even if the correct diagnosis were made in sufficient time. Edward Bell Krumbhaar (1882–1966).
