Core Tip	We report on the case of a 74-year-old man who developed cardiogenic shock and ventricular septal rupture following an episode of acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac magnet resonance imaging (MRI) provided detailed information on size, localization and tissue integrity of the ruptured septum with respect to the myocardial infarction zone, followed by successful surgical repair of the defect. To the best of our knowledge, this case report is the first description of post-infarction ventricular septal rupture by the use of cardiac MRI in an intensive care patient with cardiogenic shock and subsequent successful surgical repair.
