Imagine your interventricular sulcus
                       getting thinner
Your left wall has slowed its myocardial rhythm,
The chordae tendenae no longer close
                        any valves
There is the backflow of blood and
                         suddenly
The muscular left side, the part of you
                        you thought strongest
Has prolapsed.
Diagnosis in: Death by a broken heart.
