Left ventricular aneurysm

Left ventricular aneurysm.

Left ventricular septal aneurysm.

A6-month-old girl (3.5 months corrected, born at 28 weeks gestational age) presented with a history of increasing tachypnea, diaphoresis, difficulty feeding, and poor weight gain. A 15-lead ECG done on day 41 of life had revealed normal sinus rhythm with a nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay. At that time, clinically there was a soft systolic murmur and no evidence of congestive heart...

Left Ventricular Aneurysm

Angiocardiographic characteristics of the residual contracting left ventricle (LV) have been examined in 16 patients with anterolateral ventricular aneurysms (VA). In each patient a contractile section (CS) of the LV was clearly demarcated from the remaining aneurysmal section (AS). Using a double hemispheroid model, volumes of CS and AS were separately estimated by a modified area-length metho...

Large Inferolateral Left Ventricular Aneurysm

The majority of cardiac left ventricular aneurysms involve the anterior and/or apical wall. We present a case of a 50-year-old man with heart failure caused by a large inferolateral left ventricular aneurysm and associated mitral regurgitation, managed by aneurysmectomy, mitral valvuloplasty, and surgical revascularization.

[Congenital apical left ventricular aneurysm].

Congenital ventricular aneurysm is an infrequently occurring disease entity that usually affects the left ventricle. Its etiopathology is unknown. Clinical presentation is variable, and the condition is potentially lethal in some cases. Various imaging techniques are useful in diagnosis and enable the condition to be differentiated from congenital left diverticulum. We present a patient with a ...
