The rsR' pattern in left surface leads in ventricular aneurysm

Left ventricular aneurysm in the African.

Left ventricular aneurysm is a very rare finding in the African and it is the purpose of this paper to describe four such cases, including one following coronary thrombosis. Sternberg (1914) has shown that 85 per cent of cardiac aneurysms in white patients follow on myocardial infarction. A different picture is presented in the African. In a series of fifteen African patients with left ventricu...

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...

Body surface detection of delayed depolarizations in patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular aneurysm.

In eight patients with chronic ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular aneurysms, we detected delayed ECG wave forms after the QRS complex from the body surface using a high-resolution ECG recorder, amplification and signal averaging. Delayed wave-form activity (D wave) extended a mean of 70 msec beyond the termination of th QRS complex. This delayed activity frequently extended to the lim...
